Important

Anyone ever lost a coil with short arms? I did.

Yup. 3 years ago in Moab. Fortunately, it was discovered before it left completely, and without having to walk to find it.

I did find out my XJ performs pretty well with only one spring up front, though

Great day of wheeling!

new suspension design?

3-link is in. Gawddamn the ammount of spot welds on the stock brackets is rediculous. I ended up pulling out the torch when I got tired of the shower of sparks.

RK instructions sucked. Said to use .75 in spacers where the .6 spacers went and vise versa. Said to use 2 5.5" bolts and 2 5" bolts on torque arm mount but only came with 2 5.5". Their grease zerks suck too, broke 2 of em just pumping grease in.

I found out where the DW is coming from in the process. Apparently my 1 year old front poly bushings were destroyed already and the trac bar has at least 1/4" of play on the axle end, nothing I can do about that bolt right now either, the bolt is stripped, gonna have to torch it off. It's off to the bolt store for me tomorrow for some new CA bolts (they looked a little worn) and trac bar bolt...this time with a nylock.

Oh btw the ORF bumper doesn't fit with the longarms, the 33's shove right into the ends of the bumper.....so i torched them off.

Another note of interest, JCR rails will not fit when you have the RK 3- link kit installed. I think I can torch the mounting tab off of the driver side one and weld it to the RK mount though.

Oh the new Rk arms are bent, which frickin way do the bends face?

[Ramsey]

[goodburbon]

I did search right after I posted that. It would seem that the consensus is that they go up, It looked like they would hit the frame if I did it that way.

Anyone who watched that game and still feels good about the superbowl has been drinking a little too much blue and orange cool-aid.

Drove all the way to wilson, nc to pick up tie rod inserts so I could get the jeep on the road yesterday. Got home and they were 5/8 dia. Made a nice rattle inside the 3/4" holes in the knuckle. Broke one of the rear shackle mount nuts loose inside the framerail too, lucky me.

The goferit inserts showed up today, so I should be driving for an alignment and to mount the 33's tomorrow.
