Well scored some lca's and a track bar at the JY and I'm going to be ordering a IRO 3" lift here soon. I'm not sure what height I'm going to end up at lol. Hopefully with the tcase drop I wont get any vibes.
And as soon as I'm done fixing XJ #2 and shes sold I will be ordering some new KM2s

well i replaced the drag link, upper and lowwer ball joints on pass side and farm n fleet replaced my upper ball joint on the driver side for free! lol and got it aligned. It's still steering kind of funny. I think its a combination of my ****ty tires and my steering box.
PLANS:
durango steering box
drop pitman arm
install my adjustable track bar
add a leaf or two to my leaf packs to get leveled out
new tires

Well i went to the JY today looking for an aux fan cause mine stopped working (its shot) and a pass side fender. no luck with either.
But i did leave with a 99 intake and throttle body and a set of 8 # 784 injectors. I cant wait till it warms up so I can install everything.
My father is going to bore the TB for me and i just ordered the injector rebuild kit.
Also I ordered new leaf packs today, 3.5" RE springs, from SERIOUS OFFROAD. and bought extended front brake lines (c1500)
