I went from 3" to 4.5 the other day and noticed death wobble. Replace the tre on the track bar and still got it. Got an alignment and still have it. Im wondering if switching to a double shear heim/bushing style adj track bar will do the trick. Castor angle and pinion angle are perfect, 1 ton steering is all new, i have the rc 7572 adj track bar and i have a feeling the tre style joint just allows too much movement. Any help would be appreciated!

33 inchers
Hello.
If i would mount 33inch tires, would i need to change anything to drivetrain??
Im not worried about a speedometer thats off, tyre clearance or suspension.
Friendly regards,
Ryan

On stock gearing you're gas mileage will tank and you'll lose some power. Regearing is always recommended but I don't think there's any "mandatory" changes to drivetrain

Doing a 3" lift next week, I already have rear springs and front coils for the lift along with a set of 2-4" lift shocks. Is there anything else I absolutely need for the lift? It's more of a daily driver than an offroad toy, but I do go out on trails every now and then.
Also, best way to get those coils in?

You're gonna need a trackbar soon, but you'll be okay with the stock one in the meantime. I recommend the double shear track bar from Iron Rock Offroad. It would also benefit you to get replacement Lower Control Arms, but you don't need them at 3".

Got a question guys, I have a 98 XJ Limited with roughly 5-5.5" lift. Its made up of a 2" BB from Teraflex(shackle and spacer) and I believe RE 3.5" coil and lower control arms and Rustys AAL... I just upgraded to long travel Fox 2.0 shocks and want to get new coils/leafs and then a LA kit, I plan on staying around the 5" mark.
My question is between BDS and RE which do you guys think is the better of the two?
I will soon have a winch bumper and winch and also a rear tire carrier, my rig is more of an Expedition/overland setup then it is a rock rig. Thanks

I would go with RE. While BDS is a higher rated company, I've heard from several sources that they don't like to honor their bold warranty.
