Hell I figured I'd give it a shot. They actually look pretty neat.

Actually this makes more sense than what I posted. I went back and read the description again and realized I missed the part where it would shut off.

Could do many different things with these. If you just want to keep it cheap, you can do a 2" budget boost. Look at the faqs so you can figure out what has worked for others. Once you get above that, there are several mandatory parts that are needed. Then there's getting above 4.5" which really should have long arms.... There's also what some cheap lift kits with two springs do. It's called a front to rear coil swap so you use your fronts on the rear to get around 3~4 inches.

If you're looking for something simple, keep it on the 2" BB. Whatever you do, don't smoke the crack they offer you when anyone says you can install 3" or 3.5" BB pucks without having to add all the other parts a proper lift will include. The amount of parts you need become more and more important as you get above 2".

Sounds about right no matter which engine you have either the 5.2 and 4.0. You may want to fill out your profile information with all the info about your vehicle. This way when you start a new thread, people can see what you have and make reasonable guesses about what to look for.

Back to the 2"... If I were doing it, I'd actually spend money on a front adjustable trackbar to make sure the axle is centered after the install. Skip the shocks instead for now and run the stock ones until they crap out, but start saving for them. This way if you end up wanting to go higher all of sudden you won't need shocks again.

I race motocross, all hondas, my numbers 471, only got one yammi an thats for the two stroke classes I run, an thanks I will fill that out, yeah I felt as if driver side tire stuck out a little further, it already has a 2" BB. Shocks were next on my list, or lights for the roof rack.

Here's this question, how do I figure out if its the 02 sensor?


Also I have a flo master turn down, how would this do on my jeep? Or would I just have a can of bumble bees?

93-95 only have one O2 sensor pre-cat.

For the wobble, sounds like Death Wobble. Someone has already mentioned to check the trackbar, and control arm bushings. That will get ya in the right direction for possible causes.

If I did this right, the o2 sensor is not the problem
