Supposed to be a lot better because there is preload on the shock bushing which eliminates the thud upon acceleration that I have never heard, and makes changing shocks easier. And robs uptravel, not that now of us have more than a few inches due to tire size anyway. And adds an inch roughly of droop, they are great if you need an extra inch of down but otherwise they are overrated IMHO.

 

Thanks, guys. I'll look into it for 'Manches and weigh the pros and cons.

 

My bushings wear ok, but I've broken 2 bar pins in 6 months. That made up my mind for me.

 

I use to have the thus but not no more. There's also an extra inch of down travel. My stuff shoot down hard when coming off curbs and rocks. Shocks are nice and tight. Also. No more broken bolts when changing shocks and also you can use a widen range ofshocks even if they don't come with pins

 

Totally unrelated, I'll be in SI tonight. You gonna be out in the snow?

 

Bottoms up front. I have bpe's up front. To much flex and blown shocks

 

Lol. Yea ill be in bk possibly. And I re read what I wrote. I meant I don't get the thud from aftermarket barpins. And also you get an Extra inch of down travel from using the BPEs. And as for the shoot down hard. The shocks are pre loaded so have some extra force to throw the axle down when crawling lol. It's related to BPEs

 

Took off all four flares & one bumper molding , they kept popping off ..

 

Searching for another Cherokee, cause one just isn't enough.

 

Put on the rubicon express double shear track bar that I've had for months.

 

Bought a 95 HP D30, stock steering, gear box, track bar and bracket, LCA's, 2 random shocks, 2 driveshafts, and a crossmember for $120. Now i need a T case and a tranny... Mostly a t case... NP231... In GA...

 

What was the deal with the tranny?

 

It was ****. lol... The tcase was a 242 that i didnt want anyways... The thing was covered in mud, grease, missing a few things, and his story eventually ended up being that first gear wasnt any good. The guy was a complete **** stick. I thought about offering him $5 to shut up for 10 minutes and let me look at everything... anyhow, the axle is in the back of my grandpa's truck and im getting it back sunday to clean him up.

 

I had a feeling.

 

Yep, for the price though i got a deal on the axle. As long as its innards are good. That guy was a ****ing moron
