Iron Rock says you need wheels with less than 4.75" BS to run their OTK kit. Their site doesn't say anything about lift height, but I've heard it requires 3" or more. Can anyone confirm or deny that with experience?

When I put my 33s on 4.5 lift do you guys think I can put them on and drive them home before I trim?

Have you adjusted your drag link, or is it not an option?

Its all as short as it can possibly be. Theres only so much that can be adjusted to pull it more right. Gotta go higher so the drag link needs to be longer.

Replaced stock injectors with the ford upgrades, now the jeeps running rough. Messed up the clip that holds the metal fuel line to the fuel pressure regulator, but fixed that. It's idling REALLY low, and spittin an sputtering at like 25 to 35, but rides smooth at 45 to 50. Ran the tank empty, then when I went to put $25 (which is about half a tank depending on gas prices) the gas gauge barely moved. What's goin on guys I need to find this prob ASAP my best guess so far is that when I ran the tank empty something got sucked up into the fuel filter now it's clogged? :/ it's the DD and I need her back on the road ASAP all help is appreciated thank you guys so much

There should be a lot of resistance between positions and a sort of soft pop once it gets into place. Aside from the actual movement of shft forks internally there is a detent ball with spring inside. The actual locking is provided by the shift gate inside the cab and any rust on the linkage lol

I would say your guess is possible. I see in your avatar it's pre-97. Is it 91-97? If so, you may need to reset your ECU and force it to relearn your system. If it's Renix (pre-91), there's nothing to reset, and it means something changed.
