Alright, in a calm voice, here's where my lift stands.

GOOD:
I have all four springs (3" Skyjacker coils/3.5"RE leafs)
I have a ZJ V8 tie rod to install
I have four 33x12.5" tires on 15x10 wheels
I have TC drop for temporary fix
I've been PB Blasting like it's my job

BAD:
One of my tires isn't holding air; reason unknown
I only have until the middle of January, or I have to drive my Jeep home stock
My money disappeared cause my apt manager and the power company are proving to be even more stubborn than the House of Representatives

NEED:
Track bar, Shocks, Bumpstops, Sway Bar Drop

If anyone can help with parts or advice, I'm more than happy to take both.

EDIT: I think I'm just gonna redrill for the trackbar til I can get a HD one. Seems like a lot of people do it, and I haven't seen any nay-sayers.

 

I have shocks, I'm buying new ones when I get my lift on

 

Over at Nate's (passt) changing fluids and noticed his fill hole on front diff cover is lower than mine. Is that normal? Fill hole is below axle tube.

 

His is likely a LP d30 vs your HP d30

 

That makes sense. Appreciate it.

 

lol @ the h.o.r. thing. All I can offer you is my assistance and what little knowledge I have but they are all yours.

 

Maybe I can pick up the flat and take it to my shop and if it's fixable I'll fix it for you. I work Saturday so I can pick it up after work Friday or you can drop off at my house anytime Friday. My wife will be home. Let me know.

 

A big thanks to Brian for all the help tonight, front and rear diff fluid changed. Much learned, and got to hang with a cool guy in the process.

 

LMK what days you have off, and I'll try and either get a day off or make it a point to get up that way....

 

If you do make it up this way maybe you could bring those tow hooks and I'll swing by and grab them. Just have to let me know which day. I'm off until jan 3rd after Saturday.

 

Will do Jon....

 

Thanks, Mike. I'll be sure to post once a date is determined.
Bumpstops and shocks are what's holding me back now. I'm gonna pretend there's nothing wrong with the tire until Jon can give me some feedback. If it can be fixed, there's no reason to be stressed. If not, I'll have to figure something out.

My plan for shocks:
Front coils are 3" so 3" shocks.
My rear springs are RE 3.5s, and I'm told they underrate theirs, so I'll likely have 4-4.5" after settling. Shocks seem to be sold at 3" and at 4-5" but I'm not sure which to go for.
I was planning on putting my front 3" shocks on with the lift, and ordering rears after measuring my actual lift in the back. Would I be alright driving without rear shocks for the time it takes to ship?

 

Might be a little bouncy. With the way you drive though you probably wouldn't notice!

 

Clown I sent you a ****load of info/advice in my PMs

 

Mike I'm gonna be up toward Elkton (New Castle) this weekend - maybe we can meet up at some point. If you do your axles one weekend I'm more than willing to plan a trip up there - I'll just drop my fiance off at her moms and head down.

I need to get you to weld something quick for me anyways if you're willing.
