If I may ask, why did you convert to leafs? Easier to work with than coil suspension?

the leafs were on when i traded for her,i guess he want as big and cheap as u can go,and for easier to work with for sure 4 u bolts and its off the axel,the gas shocks seem like rough country,but their torn up so im replacing/upgrading those,if any other rigs here have the leafs point me to them cause i would like to know what they are from so i can get some spares,iv looked but cant find a serial number,would it be under the shackles maybe?

Ok, I'm an inspection mechanic....your jeep is uh, well, not legally gonna pass lol. I can tell just from the picture. My jeep is lifted 4.5 inches with 35s and my bumper height is way over legal. And no, a set of.inspection stickers on your rig won't keep the fuzz away. Your jeep technically should have an r title because of that front suspension, but if it has pa inspection stickers on it already you can get away with it. Another thing, go to penndot and change your registration from a station wagon to a truck, you can get away with a little more, in the state of pa, Cherokee are station wagons and wranglers are convertibles which makes them a passenger vehicle, limiting bumper height to (I think)20 inches can't remember off the top of my head but I'm99% sure that the height, registering as a truck gets you a few more inches. If you have any questions just pm me and ill give ya my number and ill explain it, I'm using my ft,s smartphone, I hate technology sometimes

i would suggest reinforcing the bolt holes some how,as a whole they are pretty tough but the bolts snap out the plastic like paper plates,im in the process of figuring that out,im thinking of plastic weld stuff layered thick and tapping them, DONT use self tappers any pressure rips em right out and ruins the hole on the body,BOLT them on youll thank yourself. overall i like them but they need reinforcing and a bead of silicone (stock seals let some mud behind them)

I already posted this on another page, but it got such a good response that I figured I would post here. I use one of the flat multiple head lawn sprinklers to wash the mud out of the undercarrage. Duct tape a broom stick to the hose, and push it where you need it. It works get the salt off in the spring also. Just leave it in a spot for a while, and move it a little at a time. Different heads = Different angles

Got a couple of PA wheelers together this passed weekend and it all turned out pretty well, we had a great time! Looking forward to getting a couple more people together this coming weekend if any of yous are down for a little traveling. Bring your rig out and ride some trails through the Trevorton mnts!
