Hey guys. I was going to introduce myself and post a few pictures of my stock Cherokee for fun, so I'm not just that new guy who comes on here and posts a few questions about his new build. But I read in the sticky not to overload this area with pics. So maybe I'll do that in another section.
Anyway, I finally got my motorcycle running and now it's sold. I can finally afford to build up my jeep a bit. Something I wanted to do seven years ago when I bought it.
It's a 98 with all stock parts. And death wobble. I'm hoping some of the parts I'm replacing might be part of the wobble problem and I can kill two birds with one stone. I plan on purchasing a RE 3.5 Super Flex with full leafs. I will be running 31x10.50 duratrac.
My main question now is what to do about my shackles. I have been reading a lot about relocation and that seems to be universally suggested. I do not want to add any lift besides what the kit provides. I am thinking HD Off Road relocation brackets. http://hdoffroadengineering.myshopify.com/products/no-lift-xj-shackle-relocation-brackets
I'm wondering if I should get the RE shackles to go along with this. http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-Shocks/Shackles.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=101&t_pt=8660 I can't find much info on how if there will be a height increase with this particular combination.
I do not plan on crazy off roading with this Jeep, just want to add some performance to decrease the chances of getting stuck on camping roads I drive on. I plan on using it primarily for camping and snowboarding; I need to be able accommodate the weight of camping gear and passengers.
I have been reading posts from this site for years now and am happy to finally be a member. Seems like a cool place.
