New springs, sad traction
I run the H&R springs in mine as well with a set of Monroe OE Spectrum shocks - front end flex is limited with the sway bar but I find it seems to ride a bit better (down travel feels quicker) over the potholes than my last Liberty that had a OME/Bilstein setup. In the rear a 2" longer shock...- derekj

What did you do to your jeep today?
Went for a backcountry drive on the weekend to drop some firewood off at a rec site for some friends that were doing a bikepacking trip - ended up being a pretty nice day after the morning rain let up :)- derekj

What did you do to your jeep today?
Installed my knock off spartan locker today - didn't get any pics though. I did run into one snag with trying to fit the side gear into the carrier - it was rubbing on the rough casting area of the carrier so I had to trim down the side gear to clear the carrier otherwise it would not sit in all...- derekj

What did you do to your jeep today?
Just a heads up - a lot of shops (mine included) won't touch your a/c system if you have used those cheap a/c recharge kits you can buy at auto parts stores. Those kits contain a mix of chemicals to make up the refrigerant and shops don't want to contaminate their pure R134A - plus if you use...- derekj

New Jop, what should I do to it next?
The H&R lift springs are a good option if you don't want to spend as much as an OME setup. Will give you 1.5" of lift.- derekj

Why I don't use cheap spark plugs
I was changing plugs on a 4.7lt Grand Cherokee today with customer supplied parts - the 4.7 takes 16 plugs and uses a different plug for the intake side and the exhaust side. Customer supplied a set of NGK's for the intake and a set of Champions :( for the exhaust side. This is a shot of the...- derekj

The ecm will shut off fuel to the misfiring cylinder after to protect the cats - hence why your injector was not firing.- derekj

Best year and trim for budget adventure off-road build
If the air suspension gives you grief there are a few options out there to remove it and go back to a standard coil spring setup. Enjoy your new ride - I have always been partial to Land Rovers - used to work at the dealer back in the late 90's.- derekj

H&R Spring Review
This is what the extended front bump stops look like - you can get these ones on eBay or if you call Terraflex they apparently still sell theirs but just don't have them online. they just snap into a cup on the body above the upper control arm.- derekj

H&R Spring Review
Took about 3-4 months to settle - the "conduit nuts" are 2" electrical conduit nuts from home depot - you put them between the bottom of the shock and the clevis to help level the truck left to right and add a bit of lift to the front to help for a bit of added weight or sagging springs. They...- derekj
