Anyone know how well stock bumpers would hold up as a recovery point. Thinkin of temporarily putting some d rings on there...

BigMatt

Stock bumper is held on by 3 bolts and made of cheap flimsy steel. If used as a recovery point you'll probably lose your bumper.

Simple question, installing bushwhackers I got for 100$. Anyone gotta write up on how to install them? I'm kinda worried about the whole drill and hope it lines up thing

Don't do it. Or you'll be upgrading to an aftermarket bumper sooner than expected. So... Do it.

Larger wheels/tires won't change the distance between the axles and the frame/unibody, it only increases the distance from the axles to the ground, and also puts the tires closer to the body. So the shocks that came with your lift should still be good, since that measurement hasn't actually changed.

Lol wish I had money for the aftermarket one...

u'll definately need one or its cheaper to fab one urself if u have a welder. i was at the badlands last week and a stock cherokee got stuck and the front axle was burried and did not have front tow points. we tore off his front bumper trying to pull him out. and had to use the rear axle. he was sitting in water for almost an hour and had his alternator in the stock location, ended up towing him back all the way. if he had front tow points he wouldnt have been in that mess. best idea is to fab or at least install a front hitch receiver.

Alright thanks, yea I will have to check that! I mean I've looked over my whole jeep a few times along with a few friends/family and mechanics and no one can figure it out. It's nothing that you can actually see yourself, like no tie-rods are broken, nothing wrong with the steering stabilizer or u-joints so its really frustrating. Right now I only have about 33psi in my tires and it seems like I need air so maybe I need more and that will help? But this happens and it will come out of it for a month or two and then start up again..

Lol thanks for typing more than I wanted to last night. I took the easy way by just saying larger tres lift the whole vehicle

Have a couple stock coil spring compatibility ?s
1. Are front and rear zj springs interchangeable

2. If so does that mean rear zj springs are interchangeable with front xj/mj springs

3. I heard rear zj springs are around 3"s shorter than xj/mj springs (confirm deny?)

4. Does anyone know the rear zj spring rate?

bhennessee1

I don't think they are interchangeable, rear coils are usually short and fat as opposed to long skinny front coils. But v8 xj front springs give you 1-1.5 in of lift in an xj. I have no idea about spring rates.

Trying to lower my mj front end so short is good

BigMatt

Don't mean to be a dick but I'd love to see this v8 xj you're referring to... Maybe you meant zj or wj

price could be the biggest difference.
backspacing options also

Circle track wheels are exactly that, they are rims meant to hold up better at high speeds and rough terrains. Circle track = a race track in the form of a circle. They're basically the same they just meet higher standards.
