Okay so he should gain an inch of lift. I think he was at six inches (4" coils and a spacer) I sold him six inch coils but he might be straight because he had a heavy bumper and a winch on front.

hi guys, hoping to get some help troubleshooting. I have an 01 and their seems to be some electrical problems. The turn signals work but if they're on longer than about 15 seconds, they stay on (constant not flashing) until i physically turn them off. i've checked fuses but don't know where else to troubleshoot?? was thinking ground wires then alternator? Any ideas? thanks!!! jeff

Salad, if I just wanted a tougher tie rod/ends, are the ZJ's a direct fit? There's a ton of them in my local jy. Just curious. I think my stock tie rod is just dinky.

Use the whole v8 zj rod, it's significantly beefier than the xj or 4.0 zj rod.

Search for lube locker gaskets for your diffs. They cost more but no rtv needed and they are resuable.

X2 worth the money IMO i have one for my D30 and its so nice to not have to scrape off RTV or put new RTV on and stuff like that. I will be ordering one for my 8.8 soon.

I just checked Amazon. Lube lockers for $25 if you have prime that's free 2-day shipping too.

Guess I'll be grabbing those soon.

Can somebody explain to me the difference between u joints? I have a 99 XJ without abs and just replaced my u joint with a 371 moog joint but now I need to buy a new outer axle stub and a lot of them say they're for the 760x u joints. Not sure what I need to buy...

Default Rough start low idle

I know your probably sick of seeing me on this thread every week but I keep getting new issues.

I've got a rough start when totally cold and a low idle (500rpm). I have already cleaned the TB and IAC. Any other suggestions?
