I'm lifted at 5"s I have an sye with a grand cherokee front cv shaft in the rear.

My opinion angle is perfrct with 4 degree shims...however even with my tcase drop in I still get very little vibes...if I take the tcase drop out they get much worse. The ujoints and centering ball on the shaft seem to be in good shape. And I still get vibes without my front shaft in..

What do I do? I'm thinking of brining the shaft to a shop and having them check it out and rebalance it.

Guys iv just instaled an RC 3" lift kit with control arms,i need to take it to the shop to have the wheels aligned,do i need to get some specs to have them set to?or can i have it set to standard? 2000 xj classic...

Don't waste your time with a shop, align it yourself with a tape measure and a pipe wrench. 1/16" total difference between front of the tire and rear. Look up how to do an alignment, it's quite simple.

Patients is by far not my best quality lol I just really wanna be sitting higher with a set of 36s underneath. Just want it done and drivable right now but guess Im saving up 160-200 for the kit and driveshaft

Ha.. Yeah I should have posted here to begin with.

I like the RE lifts.. read great things.. but I'm worried the 3.5 will be more like 4 or 4.5 as some have said.

Im worried about the same thing I need 5in lift up front to get mine level. Then again may go with a 5.5" set up and just add a shackle to the back for the extra half inch

Slim357

Loose the swaybars and never look back and I used stock ubolts when I did my aal

Alright lets bring back the topic of tire pressure... we just got new wheels and a pair of new tires. I asked the guy what psi he was going to put in em. He said about 45, to which my dad agreed.

From what I understand, and have read on here, is that you'll want to run less pressure than reccommended in the door because they are larger tires. My dad's arguement was that in order to get the larger tire to behave the way the smaller tire does you need to run a higher than stated pressure to make up for the difference in volume. He also said that a larger tire at the same pressure as a smaller tire will flex and distort more going around turns, thus you need more pressure.

My thinking was this: the psi on the inside of the door is for a set tire size, thus a specific amount of air and pressure at each tire to support the weight of the vehicle. Because the size of the tire increases, a smaller psi is needed to achieve the same amount of air used to support the weight of the vehicle.

Thoughts? Links? Science?

What tires and size? That sounds like WAY too much.
