if you have a 5 speed manual, you do not have a power/comfort switch

 

Ya u do, its called the clutch! Lol

 

Hi I'm looking at a Cherokee but she's lifted with blocks and spacers now I'm getting a nice lump sum in december and prob gonna go with a rustys six inch long arm any way but what are the bads of this kind of budget lift

 

I answered my own question about jeep rear air shocks for towing /hauling. I was having trouble finding long enough ones for a lift. After talking to all the parts store dummies about it and listing to their utterly stupid banter.....I called Monroe direct. I found a set that the guy crossed to the shocks I have now, around 24 " extended and 14 " compressed. They also came with a year warranty. I plan to hook them into my OBA so I can set them whenever wherever I may be. Then when I go wheeling ill probably just let them down to zero. They were the longest shock Monroe had, they worked for an mj with about 6" on it.

 

Axle wrap and wheel hop like a mo fo!! But I used to have a small (1") block in the rear. But not anymore. The front spacers are fine I use em alot.

 

And can you explain axle wrap sorry im still a noob

 

Torque from your driveshaft forces the pinion up and down causing your axle to "wrap" in a sense. Not good. Leads to broken parts.

 

Ok thanks I guess I'll get it and just not do any seirous wheeling till I get the rustys kit

 

Prolly best. But blocks aren't going to automatically make your rig self destruct as soon as you hit the trail like some people will lead you to believe. Ive known mud bogging guys that ran 10" lift blocks before. Not at all safe tho!

 

Yeah she's got 4" blocks out back and 4" Kevlar spacers up front

 

4" blocks? holy christ. You need to remove those man - extremely dangerous on these trucks (no traction bars). 1.5"-2" is bad, 4" is insane.

 

well the guy says he drives it every day the springs are bad too if I got it could you guys help me build a bp rear spring setup and we'll move this convo to lift/tires????

 

that's what i'd do - bastard pack and shackles in the rear and longer springs in the front (although those do not look like 4" spacers in the front, more like 2")

 

Ok I've never built a bastard pack lol could you point me in the direction of one

 

+1 on all this about the blocks

Bastard pack is basically adding another spring to give lift - also called Add-A-Leaf but generally a stock spring from a junkyard donor
