Well after some time deciding i really dont like how my zj rides with the BB in there. It is really tippy and i really dont ever taking mudding. actually i took it more when it was completly stock! So its been in there for a while and i was thinking about just taking it out and putting addcos and new shocks. since i do a lot of driving. around 350 a week and it is mostly on back country roads that have a lot of it is curvey. So really my question is it hardy or easier to take it out? and what sze are stock tires on my zj. 1998 5.2 laredo but it has all the options that the limited has and have 15inch wheels.
Thanks
Tedd
Also it they anythign else that can give me a better ride? would new springs help? thanks again

You can reduce body sway/roll by installing an aftermarket sway bar. What size tires do you have on there now; it's possible you can keep the existing tires.

i have 265 70 15 but i need new tires anyway. they got roughly 10 to 15 % tread left
Also does any one know when i can buy the stock air box and tube and all the stuff that was replaced with the K&N FIPK. i was just wondering but the k&n tube just keeps rubbing up againist the hood and the tube is getting thinner on the spot it rubs so i think ill just go back to OEM.
Thanks
Tedd

FYI, Stock tire size should be posted on the driver door plate.

If the Jeep feels tippy, you need to either replace the swaybar bushings or upgrade to an Addco swaybar. They are not expensive and the ride quality improvement is immense.
