Are those full leaf packs or Add-A-Leafs? What brand?
You want a ZJ tie rod, not a ZJ track bar. The tie rod isn't something you have to upgrade, bit it's recommended. You don't need to do it when you lift, though, if you're short on cash. You'll need an aftermarket adjustable track bar to center your axle under the Jeep.


Frosty, I'm sorry to see that. PO should be run over and dragged through the wheel well a few times.

3.5" lift you probably want 31s.

Black Line-X from roof to rockers, and the inside floors.

Rubberized undercoating on the belly. And a fresh coat of not brown paint inside.
Oh I am here tim, I lie in waiting till jeeps show up at my shop with painting supplies

PT Mike, I attempted to replace the tank unit on my sister's '98 ZJ Limited. Dropped the tank and fought with the damn spring loaded unit, got it in and hooked up and now the Fuel gauge stays on empty. Doesnt that mean the circuit is open meaning no signal? What is weird is the old one would jump to empty and fluctuate if you were under a half tank and with a new unit now i cant get a reading. Tonight I am going to plug the old one in and see if I can get a reading by moving the float if I do then its back to the parts store to light that b*tch on fire lol after I look for some bad wires of course. Any insight or suggestions?
