I have rustys fixed lowers. Haven't had a single problem since day one.
Just make sure you don't tighten the bolts until the jeep is on the ground at ride height.

My caster is at 9 degrees lol. Even on both sides too. Either going LA or adjustable with drop brackets next spring. These bushings suck and no grease zerk.

I've considered it. Just a budget stroker with the 4.2 crank and rods.

when mine finally dies Ill do 4.2 rods and crank and a cam. but so far it seems like it wont be dieing anytime soon. hell it still passes smog so good they test it twice to be sure lol
I did alot of online reading and there were a few options to which way for me to go. I bought a Haynes repair manual for specifacations. I finally decided to go with a Titan engine for my parts. There are a few threads on here and other forums that bad rap there stuff. I don't know why, but I rebuilt my own and didn't purchase a allready built engine. Titan was very helpful and allways answered all my tech questions. I was told that I would get between 40/50 HP. I wanted a stroker to pull my boat to the lake, and it really pulls. What a difference. But not like maybe what you would think. Titan is a good way to go, but build it yourself and let me help you if you're local. I also have a 258 crank and rods right now.
So my Jeep is not starting. Here are the symptoms.
- Left for work, started first crank as always.
- Stopped for gas and now it won't start
- Jeep has power
- Starter is not getting power, not even a click. The starte relay does not seem to click as well
- Tried swapping the starter relay, no luck
- Tried swapping starter fuse, no luck
- Tried a jump start, no luck
I have no idea whats going on, any ideas? I'm thinking maybe NSS. I did have to cross a psudo-river yesterday

I would try that or your NSS relay. If i recall correctly dont quote me on this but the AC relay is the same and you can swap them for trouble shooting. again double check this because last time i was researching this it was for a WJ
