Wow that steering arm looks kinda loose or ready to fall down? Not a mechanic at all but that seems to be in need of something. Also I purchased mine with no sway bar and it rolled through turns so I threw just a stock one back on from the junkyard and it made a hell of a difference on and about the city, and when i go play i don't wheel hard so i leave it on and it keeps up just fine. if i were to rock crawl of course it comes down but who needs that stretch here in l.a.? good luck

Unless you have a guy already, and if you live in the valley area please I would not recommend this specialty guy on the corner of Woodley and Nordoff. In the past he has done ok work but the problem he has is with his guys that he hires always not doing the work properly and shotty work the rest of the time. Last time I went there he did not even do the work it felt like. I would suggest the 4 wd place on Sepulveda Boulevard. I have only gotten parts there but i hear good stuff over there about them.

Wow! I don't think that Southern California has enough lifted truck shops or repair places especially with all the big trucks and daily driven toys we have out here. But, if you do happen to have or find a great shop, please let me know if you remember because if they are worth the price and do great work, I will drive to the east coast if I could just once feel my truck really tight again. It seems like that is just too much to ask for the suspension to feel good with little or no noise and I am willing to pay whatever it takes. I think that they see me coming having me all figured out but honestly I just don't seem to have that security when driving my truck from the shop.

I know it seems like there's few and far in between. I will definitely let you know. The suspension shop I took mine to seemed to do good works on adjusting the uppers and lowers and my tie rods. I was busy working the day I took it in so unfortunately I didn't get to speak with the tech there. But they called me and told me my jeep was ready and it was only around 95$. It was nice that they weren't critizsising my setup . They did what I asked them to do and that was that.
