Just got a new ZJ tie rod, adjustment sleeve, TRE and stabilizer today.. I'm hoping that I can pull the factory one without messing with the adjustments, and be able to measure it up and set the new one up with the same length and just bolt it up and not need an alignment. Anyone done that? lol

 

Anyone on here have a set of aftermarket fender flares for sale, please shoot me a pm if you do. Thank you.

 

Floor alignment is pretty easy on Jeep's. Put the front axle on stands, measure the distance of the front and rear of your rotors, write it down, swap parts, adjust to your previous measurements.

 

sounds good, I will do that. Thanks! I don't know why I'm so excited to get new steering parts on when I won't even be able to get it out of the garage to test it out for lord knows how long

 

It is always exciting to get new parts and install them. No matter what it is. I have a budget 2" lift on the way and I am as excited to get it installed as a little kid on Christmas, even though I know it is going to take me like 8 hours of work.

 

I've had long arms and basically a full -/+ 5.5" lift kit sitting in my garage for almost a year. getting closer to the point of putting them on. Haha and also 242 to 231 conversion, bedlining....2x6...I have about 5 projects happening at once. I didn't expect to upgrade my steering this soon actually.

 

I need to upgrade my steering soon. My components are all stock and to the best of my knowledge they all have 140k miles on them. After this lift it will be time to upgrade.

 

I'm doing basically everything else and then lifting last. Also forgot to throw in there some quarter panel rust repair and Bushwacker flat flare install.

You know what they say about opinions at least I didn't get the cutouts...

 

glad you have good taste, cut outs are the worst looking flares

 

I like both


But I would prefer tube flares. Function over form, or something like that

 

My steering is 1.5"od 3/16wall chromoly with 7/8" heims..... and I already bent my tube :banghead:

I just take my cut outs off when I go wheeling anymore. First time out the were a pita. Never again.

 

yeah, im tempted to take my flat flares off sometimes when i wheel " to much work" haha
