Hello all, new Jeep ZJ owner here. Last week I bought a 96’ ZJ 5.2 V8. I bought the jeep as a range vehicle/project. My daily driver is 2wd ford ranger and makes trips to the gun range a gamble on whether or not I’ll be able to make it into and out of the trails on the way to the range. I also...

Does anyone know of a "budget" upgrade for lower control arms? I have a 99 XJ with a 3in lift. The wheels are decentered to the rear and rub the corners of the fender flares every now and then. I trimmed the flares some, so for daily use it is ok. I'm not sure how it will do at full flex...

Hey all, I only recently bought a 14 JK and am getting ready to do my first round of upgrades to it (line the tub, lift, wheel, 35" tire, rear bumper/tirecarrier) but I want to also run a trail rack (cant do roof rack or I wont fit in the garage). I am trying to figure out the best option for...

I just purchased a 2013 JKU and was planning on doing a 2.5" Teraflex Budget Boost and a 1" Body Lift. My plan was this will then get me to 3.5" without having to mess with track arms, etc. and if i put on flat fenders will be able to clear 37"s. Has anyone done this setup and if so does it...

I have a 2004 Wrangler Sport and am looking for a budget boost to raise it 2 inches. I have searched the forums and found a lot of different opinions but the results have mostly been a few years old. I was hoping to get some updated information in seeing what everyone suggests for a suspension...

I got a 2000 jeep tj 4.0 sahara , everything is stock. what would i need to do to make it great off road, but still have the capability to use it as a daily driver? on a tight budget.

All, I recently acquired a 1989 Grand Wagoneer. Considering its age and mileage (140,000), I consider it to be in decent shape (see my profile pic). As I am in graduate school, I don't have too much time or money to work on my truck. Hopefully, the economy will turn around after graduation I...

I am trying to put together a lift kit for my TJ. It is my daily driver but I want to put on 33's and do some moderate off roading. I am looking at the Old Man Emu 4" kit which seems to include everything I need but a steering stabilizer and control arms. Which control arms should I replace...

So the stock springs on my 95 are completely flat (the jeep has 194K miles) are they something that could break from regular use? I've thought about doing the bastard pack since budget is tight to give them more arch/ restore the lift height but I'm wondering if keeping these stock springs is a...

I am looking to replace the leafsprings on my old cj, they are stock and sagging a little on the right side. I was wondering if there was another car that had the same pattern as a 79 cj5 in the leafsprings mounting area, something like an old jimmy that would be a little newer but salvageable...

I have a newly purchased 03 TJ and my son got me a Rough Country 1 1/2 suspension lift kit. Its the four blocks that are installed over the coil springs. I've never installed a lift kit though and although I'm handy with wrenching on simple stuff (water pump, thermostat, plugs etc) I have no...
