    Thunking and clunking in the front end on and off braking...

    I had the harmonic thumping up to 50 mph for a few months. Couldnt figure it out. Saw that the rigth CV had too much play front to back and left to right when i wiggled it. Replaced it and intermediate shaft and viola it was fixed. $200 and a few hours but fixed.

    New Gears for better Gas Mileage???

    how do u figure????? if i get 14.5 mpg (no matter how far i drive each day) getting 3-4 more mpg would save me around $500-550/year at the pump (@12000mi per year). not to mention increase the life of my drive train and reduce stress on my 103k mile engine.

    Positive Camber issue

    no definitely not talking about the same thing lol. I missed the part about the 6" lift. My uca ball joint came with a rubber boot and a rubber "seat" or spacer that sits in the knuckle. The ball joint then slides into that.

    Positive Camber issue

    yeah... that rubber spacer is in between my UCAs and knuckle too... that didnt look right to me... but i trusted the "experts" on that one, and i have camber issues too.

    New Gears for better Gas Mileage???

    I'll probably do the install myself. We've pulled XJ's and Chevy's apart but never the gears on the libby. SO the re-build kit is a must? I dont remember paying that much for the XJs or Chevy we did.

    ome lift with stock 17's tire size

    i have heard both sides of the spectrum. some ppl have trouble but most dont. i guess it depends on the shop u take it too... i went to 3 before it was drivable. I beat it up a few weeks then took it back to my "new" guy. any shop relying on just the digital machine (it seems like most of...

    ome lift with stock 17's tire size

    no extra rear iso's needed for these tires. but i couldnt get the camber all the way out on my alignment after i added extended UCAs, so i needed to add wheel spacers with my lift to get the alignment close.... you should be fine

    Goodyear MTRs are a great tire... so is the Dura Trac. That tire is just sexy looking (no jeep required)

    ome lift with stock 17's tire size

    actually a 245/70/17 is equal to a 31" 245 (width) x .70(height) / 10(mm to cm conv) / 2.54(cm to inch conversion) =245x.7/25.4 = 6.75 inches (per side wall) you have 2 sidewalls plus a 17"wheel 6.75"x2+17"= 30.5" Most tires in this size will range from 30.3 to 30.9" depending on the tread...
