Lol, I try to snap a pic of the Jeep at every 1k mile mark to compare the little changes, accompanied by a pic of the odometer. I was thinking 'Wow, I got home perfectly at 144k and didn't have to pull over for a pic or anything OCD like that.' ...And then it rolled when I backed up 20 feet.
OCD=Obsessive Cherokee Disorder. Not sure who first posted that, but it's an official term now

Well because I broke stuff... My parents decided that because my Dad knows people because he's a doctor. That its going to a alignment (it does more too but thats not really important) shop because my dad knows the owner hes taking it there coz stuffs broken...

Had no say in it. So I still dont have my jeep after doing my Lift...

I do obsess, but I'm also tracking how fast I'm running it up. I just posted 143k on August 29, and I went 5,000 miles in 90 days before that lol

the amount of oil (unless VERY low) shouldnt affect pressure. pressure is affected by restriction in the flow, in this case the bearings. if you have low oil pressure after your oil chance it could be the oil you used is thinner than what it needs to be. try a thicker oil and maybe some lucas. if that doesnt help youll have to look at things like the oil pump, strainer, pressure sender and (hopefully not) bearings.
The 4.0 also is picky about the filter. Mopar filters are all i use. Fram makes the oil pressure drop too much for my liking. Try switching to a mopar filter and see what happens

Things that follow you home.
Slipped in some 3 deg wedge blocks to correct the dif angle, offset the hole and bolt head on the blocks 5/8" to shift the axle ahead and keep the tires centered in the wells and the driveshaft insertion at the slip yoke. Picked up 13/16" at the wedge block mid point. Need to fab shock block mount extension as shock length is limiting down movement and realization of the total lift. Next weeks project. $2 children charity tennis ball, just what I needed to soften the whip smack ariel to back door. Nuff done, went to club BBQ and a trip thru the pit, many enter, few return, lololol, any day you don't break is a good day. Great BBQ, came home to find daughter has a new addition to the family, no name as yet. Gotta lover her, nice temperment, the cat "Jeeps" is not impressed.

OEM Mopar is always the way to go but i got use to using the Mobil 1 high capacity filter and with this and full syntec oil keeps things running smooth
