Its all in how you prefer the jeep handle. I cant stand the stiffness of mine with them on so I tossed them.

Couldn't you just push in the valve on the fuel rail? Wouldn't that get the air out?

I'd say personal preference for the links but I have to say that is a clean looking Jeep!

Watched the guys at les schwab fail at installing my tires. Had to tell them 2 times they were doing it wrong. And it didn't even get the luxury of the floor lift, they used jacks

Thanks. It's a slow work in progress and a daily driver.

Wasted half a day putting a new fuel pump in and putting my gas tank back in, just to find another place its leaking from. Now I've got a puddle of gas under my Jeep again.
So tomorrow I'm taking out my smashed gas tank again, and mounting another tank inside the hatch. I'm tired of dragging the gas tank over rocks, don't want to put a new tank in the stock location just to smash it again first time I go wheeling.

got my bushing kit finished oday. Rides so sweet now. Went with prothane all around, front and rear. I did lose a little flex, but she still twists plenty and rides a million times better.

Where did you get the bushing kit from? We need to do the same to the front of my buddys XJ.

I put all new control arms in the front of mine not long ago with all new bushings, it does make a huge difference from the 26 year old original bushings
