thats awesome any action shots yet?

Yes, I left the spacer in place on the front springs. However, I'm planning on purchasing a set of OME springs soon to improve ride quality. I also plan on upgrading the shocks to monroe magnums. I just put a set of these on the rear and was blown away by the improvement in ride quality both on and off road.

I would highly recommend going with the OME springs and some new shocks if you can afford them. I've been told that the Monroe Magnums are actually the same shock as the OME shocks, but half the price. Thats why I went with them on the rear. I just finished two offroading trips in CO and MI and was very satisfied with their performance.

The T-case spacer completely eliminated all vibes.

thanks burg cleared up a lot for me, and i was going to ask about shocks but youve already addressed that. thanks again your jeep is awesome

I also see youve changed to the duratrac, they are the tires im planning on buying as well. could you give me a review or anything about them greatly appreciated thanks

Burgy

Thanks for the complements!

The duratracs are AMAZING!!!! They are surprisingly quite on the highway, awesome in rain, and very impressive in sand and rocks. I haven't taken them through any mud or snow yet. I highly recommend them as an all around on/offroad tire.

How are the MTR tires?

Burgy

I prefer the Duratracs to MTRs, however I also use my Jeep as a daily driver. The MTR's were really noisy, and were terrible in the rain, almost dangerous. I would fishtail around roundabouts when it was raining. However, they were amaizing on the trails, great in the snow, mud, sand, rocks, etc. They also had a surprisingly long tread life, I had almost 50k on mine. So from that aspect they were an amazing tire. It really comes down to what you want to do with them. For me I wanted something that was safe on the highway, good in the snow and rain, but also had great offroad performance.

My jeep is also my DD, I'm trying to decide between BFG km2s and the MTR and Duratrac

Burgy

I recommend the Duratrac in a load range C, it will help with gas mileage too.

So you didn't have any vibrations with the budget lift if I read properly, I will soon be installing a budget lift also but was worried about vibes, how much and where did you get your OME rear springs? thanks

here's a pic of my truck with no lift installed yet

I got the springs from Quadratec, I went with the 2" Heavy Load Springs. They were $117 each, plus shipping. I recommend going with the Old Man Emu front 2" coil springs rather than doing a 2" spacer. Also, I would go with Monroe Magnum Shocks all the way around.

I had some vibes before I installed a transfer case drop, but once I put that on there were no more problems. I just made one with some square tubing and longer grade 8 bolts. It only cost a few bucks, and took a couple of hours to fab and install.

weird how close those look to the ranger rims on mine



any idea what size the centers are on them? trying to figure if i can swap the ford emblems for jeep ones.

This is exactly what I plan to do to my beater. Picking up moabs tomorrow. Which injectors did you install?
