Going to be some stock and some am. Green Mesa, I won't be digging into it until this summer, I'm recovering from surgery following a bad femur and hip break. Thanks for your suggestions guys!

Well gang, Sadly I am going to be parting out my 91XJ this summer. She sure has been a blast, seen terrain all over Colorado, Utah, Vermont and places in between. Been a heck of a lot of fun building up, though I may have cursed a time or two along the way:smsoap: Anyway, hopefully someday get...

Update: Spoke with Glenn at RRO, he said this particular OME shock is not compatible with any bpe. Then I spoke with ARB USA and was basically told the same thing... The bushing is galvanized rubber, and I would have to not just remove the bar pin, but also remove the bushing and metal ring...

Thanks again for your replies. I added a teeny-weeny shot of the end of shock to last post, will try to do so here too. IntrepidXJ, the Old Man Emu shock pictured in your link seems to have a different end than mine, doesn't it? The shock I have has absolutely none of the bushing protruding...

Thanks for the quick reply JNickel101, I thought that would work when I saw that site..... But with the front shocks, on the bottom the bushing width is exactly the same as the width of the metal loop itself. So, assuming I was able to remove the pin, with its wide flat ends, I would still have...

:D Hey all, still trucking here in Vermont with the ol' 91 XJ Sport. I'll get to it here, replacing the Rancho RS9000's with Old Man Emu's N35L's front, N36L's rear. The N35L's up front have the big dogbone bars in them, and the bushings don't seem to protrude enough to work with my JKS...

Let me get this straight..... Your rationalization for your selfish polluting is that your candidate lost? Good one. And man, you are one angry dude. You should really learn to take a deep breath once in awhile. I mean, c'mon. Considering the topic of this thread, you had to know you would...

I like my Polks, don't know about 6.5's.

Well I have no idea the answer to your question. But I do have a suggestion for your reading material......

Sorry, can't seem to edit this out. I believe correct track bar alignment/torque, as well as a decent alignment should take care of this as much as possible. Again, thanks.

Thanks again for all the replies/suggestions. Hopefully it will be done "correctly" tomorrow. Another question for you. The jeep seems to really dart side to side when I go over uneven surfaces. Likely culprit?

Thanks for the replies. I have been trying to picture in my head how changes in ca length will impact overall caster, and I think you are right MightyXJ. As for just lengthening the drivers lca, I think you are right Goatman that it would give me the caster I am looking for. The problem is that...

Well, since you asked..... I could really use a 20 lb. sack of fifty's. Oh, you weren't writing about my present, were you? :laugh3: RE 4.5" would be nice for you I bet. But, have you been naughty, or nice?

Hi gang, Here's the scoop; Put in the 4.5" springs and adjustable uca's and lca's. I tried to achieve a decently symmetrical wheelbase by adjusting the lca's and then used Gojeeps site to work on my alignment. Well, I ran out of decent weather and also plain got sick of crawling under that damn...
