Important

Besides my 42's that I could run at 3 psi, the kevlars have been hands down the best tire I have run.

tires run to date:
31" timberline at's
35" thorn turds (great for mud shit for everything else)
35" procrap mud turains (pretty good tire but side walls sucked)
35" bfg mt's (got these because procomp wouldn't honor warranty)
37" boggers (great all around tires)
42" Irocs (bad ass at 3 psi)
35" kms (good offroad onroad sucked)
35" Kevlars (bad ass)

My bias 38" TSL's were the best off road tire I ever had. They worked so well in so many situations.

I liked my MTR's in Moab, now to see if I like them this side of the Mississippi

I have little baby 33" tsl's and I agree. They work well for everything out here.

Trying to replace the battery in my '86 and the thing is fighting me every step of the way. So far everything has broken.
 
I'm looking for some 3-3.5" leaf springs. I have the hd offroad shackle brackets and don't want to be much over 4-4.5". What do you guys recomend that isn't too expensive? Any I should avoid?

you don't have to take out the whole dash...i eventually just re routed mine through a different spot in the firewall and used a slightly larger diameter vac line in its place. im not sure about a pre 97, but the 98's vacuum switch is connected with a big connector behind the glove box.

its hard to see, but its the little doodad circled in the pic below...

it has a bunch of colored vacuum lines running into it. the black ones are the man vacuum feeds coming from your system. i re routed a longer line through a rubber plug in the firewall and then figured out which line went to the switch itself and which one came from the firewall...i unplugged the firewall side and plugge the new line in and i've had 0 issues ever since...

I love my 3" BDS springs and HD Offroad brackets...
 
I have OME leaf packs, I don't know what I'd do if these ever broke cause they don't make the 3.5" packs anymore. But these with the HD brackets (original style) net me ~6"...

Rusty's springs for the 3" kit are listed as 3.5" and I've been very pleased with mine. I didn't measure, but they've got to be pretty close.
 
i have the Gen2 HDoffroad brackets on my 4.5" RE lift kit. its a 1" shackle with their 3.5" spring. couldnt be happier, best thing ever was adding the shackle brackets though. they took forever to break in, and the jeep still rides with a little rake. but im happy with it, especially offroad. jeep sits somewhere around 5".

FWIW, ive got the old USA made RE leafs, not their newer china stuff.
 
What are leaf springs?

I don't know, but they're on all 4 of my vehicles and go 'squeak, squeak, squeak' as I go down the road...

The two vehicles that have them front and back ride like wood wagons too...

Well the arb compressor has been fixed, of course arb changed the wiring since the old one and the new one so I had to do a complete re wire last night, couldn't just leave everything alone so its a simple swap.....
