I'm so happy to have another jeep right now. i had a 96 grand cherokee a few years back, but i had to leave it in NC with my parents and they ended up getting rid of it. I cant blame them though, it wouldn't have made the drive down here in the condition it was in and i had no way to tow it back.

also in other good news, i'm pretty sure my VW is going to sell tomorrow. the guy really wants it, but he wants to put it up in the air and look at it first. if it does sell though, that means no more car payment and more money for the jeep fund.
Good thinking research saves money any questions feel free to ask here .

Could/should I get bigger shackles? Would that give me an inch or two more in the back?

Relocation brackets will lift and help the angle of shackle resulting in better ride .

Gotta get the vibration fixed in my driveline. Either drop my tc again, or shim the rear.
