been driving the back up, the shop that did all my previous work just finished welding it up, I gotta pick it up in the morning and take it for some new shoes. I’ll be looking into some beefed up Lca mounts

Just slap some LCA skids on there and call it good. The weld on ones not the bolt on ones

After getting the mount welded it’s like a whole new vehicle, didn’t wobble once, now I can’t wait to see how much better it is with these new tires!

Drove the jeep to work, getting what seems like driveshaft vibrations, an alignment should fix that correct? My control arms are adjustable and that’s what would be used to adjust the angle of the driveshaft correct?

Not necessarily. Rear driveshaft could be vibrating. I've never been able to get rid of my front driveshaft vibration.

Okay guys another question, what do you run your tire pressure at? I found a lot of mixed information regarding the dynapro tires. Some say 26-28 others say 34-38. Hell I couldn’t even find information on the Hancock website.

28 to 32 is the sweet spot with the weight of an xj

You can draw a line of chalk across the tread and try different pressures till the line wears completely off evenly. I run my MTRs at 27 psi and they could honestly be run lower even.

I’ll probably try that out at some point soon. Hopefully this weekend I can tackle doing the control arm drop. Would I be crazy to attempt it with the wheels on the ground, I’m wondering if I use some cargo straps to jeep the axel from shifting would work if I do one side at a time.
