Lockers or not
You can also look at the axle tube near the shock mount and there should be a tag that says “trac-lok”. Mine came with one and it’s decent for street use. Can get scary in snow/ice like any lsd. I had my tracolok carrier rebuilt and it’s sitting in my garage, let me know if you want it. That...- mercdudecbr600

2003 Liberty Lift Help - Any Advice?
So what I was thinking was clevis lift and top plate lift. Which has been said on this forum multiple times that it doubles the lift of the spacer. But honestly I don’t understand how a top plate spacer lift is any different than what the op is doing considering the spacer sits on top of the...- mercdudecbr600

Rear control arm help!!
You don’t get any extra vibration from the driveshaft without the counter weights? And what about the sway bar - on road handling must be affected, right?- mercdudecbr600

Noob question- alloy vs. steel
I believe it’s the 3rd gen explorers that use 16” steel wheels and those have smaller bore. now that I think about it, smaller bore on the wheels = incompatible with our Jeep- mercdudecbr600

2003 Liberty Lift Help - Any Advice?
I think, if I’m not mistaken, the spacers at the top actually double the height you achieve. So 2.5 spacer = 5” lift. That might be your issue. I know there’s a thread on here that talks about installing a small 1/2” spacer up front and how that will give you about 1”. Which is what I did on my...- mercdudecbr600

Noob question- alloy vs. steel
So just FYI, from what I could tell online, Ford explorer wheels have a different (smaller) center bore. Probably no issue if you can find a hub ring to fit. They appear to have the same backspacing as liberty wheels but finding that info out has been difficult.- mercdudecbr600

Rear control arm help!!
yeah sounds like you cross threaded the bolt. Did you try rotating the diff to get it to line up?- mercdudecbr600

Rear control arm help!!
Huh. Hadn’t thought to do it like that but yeah that would probably be easiest. Still would require a jack to rotate the diff to get it to line up but at least you aren’t fighting the bushings or the ball joint. The ball joint is particularly frustrating when it goes in last. I actually like to...- mercdudecbr600

Noob question- alloy vs. steel
Do you think you could find out (and share) a definitive OEM steel wheel weight? From what I can tell (digitally), they should be fairly close to the OEM alloys but you just never really know until it's in your hand.- mercdudecbr600

Control arm questions
Get full replacements for all of them. When I had mine rebuilt I went with bushings because I assumed that I could press the bushings in/out by hand with a rental tool. Nope. They didn't budge and I had to take them to a shop to press in, which cost the same as if I had replaced it as a whole +...- mercdudecbr600
