Jack stand and candle
Quick question, a friend have a 2T Jack stand and candle with a 19.5'' height that he can't keep, selling house after breakup. I know the height would be enough for my KJ but is 2T enough? my bet is yes since you support only part of the jeep weight but just wanted to make sure before getting...- martin_metal_88

suspension to hard
only problem with the JBA UCA is that I'm in canada. With shipping and border tax they can cost me anywhere between 430 and 600$ let's meet in the middle at 515, then add maybe 120 for install + 90 for alignement and tax on both these service you are at almost 800. A bit expensive for some...- martin_metal_88

suspension to hard
So, here are some update. Silicon grease did have help a little bit on some noise but I haven't been able to change the front sway bar bushing...seems that the only socket I miss in my long socket box is the one I need for them. As for the front UCA bushing, look at these pic, they look shot to...- martin_metal_88

suspension to hard
Well, may have some update on the issue. First, I now think that the coil sound is coming from a seat. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. I also took a look at my UCA bushing and they look pretty shot to me. I'll upload some pic tomorrow to let you know what you think. I will also grease them just...- martin_metal_88

suspension to hard
Then the problem may be elsewhere, my suspension was boucing it's way around on every small rock like I replaced it with 4 pogo stick but it was also hitting hard on larger bump and very easy to bottom out rendering the KJ unsafe on the road we have here in winter. Changing the suspension did...- martin_metal_88

suspension to hard
I run them at 33 PSI and the lift is 4 month old. After that time it should be broken in no? For the ground thing, I guess it was on the lift but it was done by a garage so I have no idea. As for the torque setting it was verified 2 week ago when I got the jeep for the second lift inspection and...- martin_metal_88

suspension to hard
Well, after a second inspection from a different garage, seems all my shock and coil are good as new, but my lift kit is roff as hell and every dent on the road feel like a giant hole in the ground. I was told by many people and here that Bilstein and BDS are good and decent brand so now I am...- martin_metal_88

sway bar bushing and sueaky noise.
Since I smell the catch I'm gonna get the bushing at the garage since they are daystar bushing and I will install them myself. With a little help from my boss ;). Like you and the 2 garage I am used to visit he tell me it's not taking more than 30 minute unless it's stripped or something like...- martin_metal_88

sway bar bushing and sueaky noise.
I don't have extended bump stop. I guess I could install some since it's pretty cheap. For the pic tom I'll try to get you some tonight if I can get it on a leveled surface, which is pretty hard over here at this time of the year XD- martin_metal_88
