with 4.5 inch lift you're probably going to need a sye, but everyone's jeep is different.

Today, I killed the engine. It's fairly low mileage (188,000) and I had thrown in some new bearings 80,000 miles or so ago. -10 degrees this morning and she just went, growlpingdink.....
Pushing it into the garage in a bit for a pull/teardown/rebuild.
Disposable hero....

Well over the last 2 days...registered it, exhaust leak and hanger fixed, new front tires and alignment so no shaking and no death wobble so far, no more exhaust bouncing on crossmember or being loud right under my seat (I'll go magnaflow or something later...just don't want the noise coming from under my butt haha) and ac pump went so got an idler pulley so now I have ac delete, and the compressor isn't rattling anymore. Steering wheel no longer really crooked. Bottom line is I feel like I'm driving a Prius
