rear axle ?

[kcjeepn]

OK, what is the deal with the bar bell like hanging from the rear axle? I had noticed this thing but have not found anything about it. any help?

 

[especko]

not sure what you are mentioning, got any pictures to show what you are talking about?

Thats its balls..

No, its actually a vibration dampener. Keeps the vibes down. Many people take them off after bending them offroad and cannot tell a difference.

in other words, DC ***** at making a drivetrain.. \/

Why did you have your jeep on a flatbed?

So you bent those offroad huh? \/ :-$

 

[kcjeepn]

That is what I was looking at. I figured that it would be something for vibrations. I had TJ before the liberty that I lifted. I started the TJ stock with vibes that the dealership could not get rid of and I did a better job than they did.

Why did he just use a jack? That would of made me alittle mad.. I can see some scratches on your frame. Nothing bad but still. 8-[

You saved some poor rock with the predinged hangers. All jeeps sooner or later get hit there off road.

 

[hyde]

Yeah. I don't know why, but he just strapped it and pulled it only half way into the truck and lifted the bed. Imagine like this:

what I am wondering how come it didn't rest on the muffler.. is it that strong? or did it sway up when it rested on that part? or chassis is even further below muffler?

 

[JeepJeepster]

Umm, Im not to sure if the frame hangs down below the muffler or not. It probably just pushed it up.. And no, its not strong enough to hold the jeep up. O I would say it didnt harm anything..

 

[hyde]

allright, so I guess that part is the best spot to hook the "lifts"
I was planning to buy 4 of those tripods, the ones you got, but was scared since the street is not completely even.

Jackstands...

Yea, its best if the ground if nice and level. Ive had one side of them lift off the ground b/c the ground was on an incline. :-s Thats not good at all. Had me alittle worried. 8-[
