Mine is definitely better than when I first lifted it. I think the biggest improvement was with a heavy-duty tie rod, but the brace definitely helped. That said, crosswinds are still going to affect you to some degree no matter what you do.

I agree. I'm pretty sure the tractech dude was just trying to drive home how strong the new design of the trutrac is.

In my search for an affordable locker for my 8.25, I noticed that Rocky Road outfitters has powertrax lockrights for 295 and no-slips for 375. I ended up with a detroit trutrac from 4 wheel parts for about 430 shipped. While it isn't as good as a true locker, it did seem better than a standard...

Seals and bearings mean you have to replace the whole axle? Who told you that? Can I have your old one?

How much backspacing is on your wheels?

Mine did that after my lift and tires too. I fixed it by getting an aftermarket steering stabilizer (much stiffer) and by rechecking the torque on all the linkages especially the track bar.

I personally like my rustys 4.5" kit alot. I've been running it for about 5 months now and haven't had any major problems with it netting about 4.5" lift in front and 5.5" in the rear initially, then 4.5" front and 5.0" rear after settling. I personally like this because I plan on adding a...

Just out of curiosity, how heavy is this trailer you're planning on pulling? I would think that with the frame would need some reinforcement if you're planning on pulling anything heavier than 5,000lbs. My understanding is that a major limitation to towing is the unibody.

I agree with the fuel pump switch. I think projectxj.com has a writeup.

I've been running Rusty's 4.5" kit for about 3 months now and it seems to work fine with the low pinion (I have a 2001 with lp30 and 8.25). I don't get any vibrations when I'm driving in 2wd and in 4wd it's not noticable when I'm wheeling and at low speeds. If I engage 4wd while driving above...

I just had the exact same issue installing a rustys brace on my 01 cherokee yesterday. I ended up using a file to make the hole larger on the brace itself, and again on the clamp. I also had to bend the tube to make it line up perfectly with the clamp. You can probably use a vise if you don't...
