Can you flat tow a 1993 Jeep xj without damaging it?

 

If its 4x4, put the transfer case in neutral. If its 2wd you will have to pull the driveshaft.

 

ive got an 01 cherokee with a 3'' lift and 31's on factory rims and i get some rubbing at full turn what kind of backspacing do i need to fix this?

 

3.75-4" is about right

 

3.75 or 4 inches.

 

anyone know if zone offroad has decent shipping and which track bar and control arms should I go with meaning which company has decent quality

 

Rubicon express or iron rock offroad double shear track bar, and both those company's make good control arms too.

 

X2. I'm all for IRO in this department. I had their DS trackbar on my XJ, and I'll be getting one for the MJ when I lift. I have their adjustable LCAs on the MJ, and they are incredibly beefy as well as being reasonably priced.

 

I want to upgrade to a double sheer too. Does anybody know the current state of the RE as a company? I heard something about going out of business, resurrected, restructured, etc. Last year there was a message on the website that seemed to confirm this. I like their stuff and want to keep buying from them but not if they're done and I'm just buying old inventory.

 

RE was bought out. They're still making parts.

Quality has gone down from what I've heard.

 

Re's quality has not changed all of their products are still made on the same assembly lines they were made on before being bought by transamericanauto (4wp/4wd/smittybilt/g2/Procomp) Now their warranty has improved

 

Hi, I'm not so good with this forum thing so I hope this
Is in the right place.

I have a 96 jeep cherokee SE just bought it two weeks ago,
It came with a 4.5inch rough country lift and 32x11.50 tires
Now my question is the steering wobbles once u hit 50-55 I was
Wondering if that could be the tires or if I've got something wrong
There? I think the track bar needs to be replaced but I'm not sure I'm
New to this.


Side note I just replaced the u joints on the rear drive shaft I was told its going to eat them up because of how the lift is and the angle of the drive shaft any ideas? Thanks

 

See, that's why I said from what I've "heard". Ya can't trust anyone these days. All I hear about are people *****ing about RE.

 

First off, welcome to CF.

If you get a wobble at certain speeds, it's usually an unbalanced tire. Could also need an alignment.

If the track bar does need to be replaced, I'm a huge fan of the Iron Rock Offroad double shear track bar. It's the only one I'll personally buy because I'm biased.

As for the driveshaft, you might need a Slip Yoke Eliminator on your transfer case. There is a ton of info online about SYEs and how they work. I don't have a handy link, though.

 

Thank you for typing all that. I haven't had enough coffee yet.
