How should it have been?

 

One support is just behind the front tires, and one is just in front of the rear tires. Tell me how this is improperly balanced. Insulting me doesn't make you right.

 

And supports at the "center mass" of the vehicle would make it ridiculously unstable. This comment was incorrect and useless.
You want support as far away from the center mass in both directions as possible....

 

Support is the towers.

Arms are arms.
How long have you been a mechanic?

 

The rear arms were next to where the leaf spring bolts go into the frame rails and the fronts were as close the LCA's as possible

 

The jeep is not centered. See how the back is drooping? I wouldn't step a dam foot under it.



Look it's sitting level and centered.

 

Ok I gotcha and see that now. Thanks

Would my heavy *** tool box and cinder blocks have anything to do with that?

Also what drag link do you have?

 

I'm not a mechanic. I'm a pilot. How does this matter?
I love how you post a pic of a symmetrical lift from a different angle with the posts even with your mirrors which is exactly how the one you are criticizing is lifted. The difference - His lift is designed for it. The rear arms of his are at a perfect 90 deg angle from the mast.

Well since I've been using lifts for 16 years I can say I know how to use them.
And my point of where the jeep is sitting does not matter. The weight mass is not centered. The pic was a reference on how it should sit.

 

Alright thank ya!

In those pics my front axle looks pulled back into fender when all the weight is off of it. My LCA's are for 3-4.5" and I'm at 3 now, why is it pulling back like that? What's limiting the droop is drag link and brake lines, being fixed Sunday.

 

It's called pivot. No matter what a axle pulls back during droop.

 

You didn't ask how long I'd been using lifts. You also didn't ask if I own one...

 

Ok just making sure I wasn't crazy or ha something horribly wrong lol. I don't like the way my coils look when it pulls back like that lol

Thank you

 

This all went in today plus serpentine belt and coolant. Factory T-stat as suggested. The only place that had the water inlet pipe was the stealership. $23.55 instead of the 7-10 bucks at vatozone. They said it was not in their system so they don't carry it.

Gonna let the RTV set up over night then give it a crank tomorrow.

Learned a lesson today. Make sure you test fit the water pump with the water inlet pipe attached prior to applying RTV. Mine could go another 1/4 or less turn to be perfect. As it sits now it is a hair to the left. The only issue I see is it will be in the way a bit to get the spark plug out. It is doable, just not as easy.
