I have a 3" lift with stock trackbar and if I look at the front of my jeep from about 20 feet away, my tires are slanted inwards so it looks like a "v". The tires are also wearing on the outside more than the inside, because they are slanted like a "v". Is this a trackbar issue or do I just need an alignment?

You need an alignment. A new track bar will align the axle with the body but the alignment will fix the camber

Hello I just blew out my sidewall in a trail the other day, and Im looking to buy 4 new TrXus MT's for my rig, looking for 33x12.50x15rim, Does anybody know the cheapest place to get them? I'm located in Akron Ohio if that helps, and my shipping would be to 44312, or if It would be cheaper to drive a few hours I would not bother doing so. please reply or pm me, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just installed a 2 inch shackle/spring spacer/shock kit from Rough County. The rear suspension handles terribly, every bump bounces and shakes my Cherokee. Is this a typical result of a longer shackle on a stock leaf?

yup - is the shackle straight up and down?

yea...Falken doesn't really have a place in the offroad/mud tire community - they're more street/track oriented

if your talking about the LA i would say go for it they have really good flex and ive been told are quite durable. because its a 3 link some say its a bit less stable but i say the BS since ive talked to several guys they said that even with a 6.5 theres no lack of stablity
