right now i have a 2inch lift (coil spacers and shackles) and i want to add about another inch to the front and back. ive heard of many ways to do stuff to get an extra inch or two, like grand cherokee coil springs or dakota leaf springs. whats the best way to get an extra little bit of height and what all would i have to replace to do it right? because ive heard after a 2inch lift id have to replace things like shocks, sway bar, brake lines, track bar, and other stuff. any help id appriciate

Default Adjustable track bar length

Does anyone know where I can find a chart for the correct length I need to make this track bar to get the body centered on the axle? I have searched the forum but no luck.

Yes, I already tried the shake rattle and roll method to get it centered. It still looks off to me. I want to get it right.

Here is a link to the track bar. It is the RC adjustable with drop bracket.

Hello all! I have just finished installing my Rough Country 3" lift with Performance 2.2 shocks and steering stabilizer. I have been having a lot of problems with the leaf springs and for some reason the pins don't line up with the holes on the axle. I was hoping that if I lined up the U bolts and snugged them up, that when I dropped off the jack stands it would sit itself in. Didn't work out as planned. They are still in the same spot. I lined the holes up the best I could, but it seems like the pins are larger than the stock holes. It looks great, but there is a bit of a gap in the front due to the shim in the bottom of the leaf perch.

Anybody have any suggestions to get this worked out? Anybody else have this problem. I am kind of stuck as this happened on both sides and I have been working on this for exactly a week everyday after work. I am ready to drop it off at the mechanic on Monday, but I would really like to get this worked out myself so I figured I would ask everybody here who has probably had the same problems themselves.

Thanks guys!

9 1/2" lift...holy crap. Why the hell would you need that much lift? You're going to seriously limit your offroad abilities with that high of a center of gravity.

Hey I got a 3.5 inch lift from a bastard pack and tbird coils. I got some damn good vibes in the 25-30 mph range. Does great all the way up to 65 (havent gone faster than that, I was on the back roads)

But I was wondering what degree I should try and run to get rid of my vibes?
I dont really want to do a tcase drop right now, since the PO broke all of the weld nuts. (dont ask me, there wasnt even a lift installed)
