True......on your rc did you get the full leaf pack or add a leaf?

 

Full leaf pack. My leafs don't sag at all, they just now started to settle, 2 years after I installed them. I just want to maximize my articulation in the rear without converting to coils.

 

Yeah I was told that with the add a leaf you don't get as much flex

 

Well, That's not entirely true. The flatter your springs, the better your shackle angle, the more flex you're going to have. The thing with add a leaf is it isn't replacing the tired, worn out leafs that you currently have... it's just adding 1 single leaf to them. It's going to sag sooner and the ride suffers from it as well.

 

Gotcha this is my first jeep. I'm trying to learn before I do something and mess it up right now its down with trans problems

 

Well, good thing you asked then, lol. Like others have said, stay away from spacers and blocks.

 

Thanks man as soon as I get my trans problem fixed for the 2ed time then I'm going to lift it and get new wheels and tires

 

cool. 4.5" is plenty for the 33's you want to run with minimal trimming. A little more trimming and it'll even fit 35's. If it's in your budget, spring for long arms since you're already talking about more articulation. You're also going to need longer brake lines, an adjustable track bar (go double shear), and it's time to start thinking about an SYE.

 

Yeah i will end up doing long arms and adjustable control arms maybe and also maybe shackles relocated like you was talking.....as mine will be a daily what you think about the sway bar disconnect

 

Good investment for sure in the front. I really need to get on that and stop driving around with no swaybars at all, lol. As for the rear, scrap it.

... Adjustable control arms, AND long arms? RC's long arms are all adjustable, and Iron Rock Offroad's critical path long arms are already set to length, the only thing to adjust is caster.

 

Lol yeah I don't think I would drive around without sway bars but for the rear its just pointless??

 

For the rear it's completely pointless, you won't notice any different with or without it. The front all depends on the spring rate of your coils. I run without it, but some quick disconnects would be an improvement.

 

I'll look into getting that how many miles you got on your jeep

 

like 160-170k. Wife has it at work right now so I can't run out and look.

 

Any kind of trans problems??
