    Need new front springs...

    I removed that section prior to seeing your post. I apologize, I didn't mean it as an insult to someone you know and I couldn't think of a better way to put it so I deleted it. I was putting words in your mouth...but only because they are not forthcoming from you. Just giving an example of...

    Need new front springs...

    I was fairly certain that you were not African. Your knowledge of Swahili led me to believe that you had African friends. I was correct, unless you don't count your wife as a friend...? ..but this isn't a forum about Swahili or geographical linguistics. Now....do you have anything to say about...

    Sorry for the double post, it didn't show up. MR? That's a good choice! You better get to know your Quality Assurance and measurement info. You'll soon see why I have issues with some of the measurements on the Jeep, part of my job is a Maintenance Planner. I am required to have a detailed...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Rate=job. As an E2 you will be some sort of Fireman, Seaman, or Airman. I was a Fireman, but have progressed to Engineman 1st class within 6 years. Top 1% in everything and first in my EN1 class. You will have either a job, or be undesignated. You need to know this because then you...

    :wtf2::shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked: This is something you should know. Like, it's probably not your fault you don't because recruiters are shady shady shady, but you NEED to know this.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Well, get your exercise, remain mentally tough, and understand that until you make the rank of E5, you will be dealing with more BS than not. But, hahahahaha, I asked you what your RATE was. Not rank. Booter. :gr_grin: V/r, EN1

    Need new front springs...

    Bure Aghali means "free is expensive", not cheap is expensive, btw. There's quite a bit of a difference. Cheap often has a good value or at least has required functionality at the lowest price, but things given away for free always come with a hidden price. Ask your African friends, they will...

    Need new front springs...

    EDIT: Since I wrote this I received the second opinion I was waiting on today. No more money will be going to the suspension. There is no strike through, I don't like delete, so I changed the color of the parts I want to retract. So I just got off the phone with Bilstein, as it turns out I'm...

    Debating a lift.

    TwoBobs-I have the set up as yours, minus the top plate and a-arms. Regarding being better than a bagged suspension, I would never seriously compare a bad suspension with an upgraded suspension. The comparison should be bad to stock, or stock to upgraded, or upgraded to upgraded. Anything else...

    Need new front springs...

    Ha! Point taken, and if the subject line was more along the lines of "Want lift, what kit?" then your criticism would be pretty spot on and very well deserved! However, I don't feel like it's too much to ask to have a vehicle that feels normal to drive using a setup that everyone seems to like...

    Debating a lift.

    No one has said these things, that was my point. You will have the same ride height, yes, but not the same suspension height. As an expert, tom, I'm sure you know the difference and indeed the actual spec, but for others that do not know it is the ratio, generally expressed as a percentage...

    Help for tires size choice

    All wheels have backspace. Maybe were thinking of a spacer. tommudd wasn't using a 5 inch spacer, but the wheels are a different size than stock. It's difficult to imagine how backspace and wheel width interact, but the website Rims n' Tires will help a lot.

    Need new front springs...

    So after a few days of watching other vehicles on bumps, I can say this. The yellow shocks underdamp like crazy. Now, I don't know if the other Libby I was looking at was using OME or Bills', but it looked like OME from behind (no blue, darker yellow, but it could have been hidden blue and dirty...

    Debating a lift.

    I got everything from 4wheelparts.com without the extraordinary shipping costs that JeepinbyAl wanted to charge. Of course, you are much closer, but for me it was around a $100 price difference. Total invoice was $636.44 Don't forget to factor in the cost of an alignment or three. You will...
