I got fixed just to save coin, but adjustables are better since you can get your caster spot on. I'm sure GRIMUS99XJ can let you know if adjustables are an option through him. Also talk to SeriousOffroad as well.

It happens if I'm climbing a hill. It'll go pop..pop...pop. Etc.. Or if I just bounce around it'll make a pop and I can feel it when it does it too. It's coming from the front drivers side I know that much. Any ideas on what it could be? Ball joints? Idk I'm lost lol
not sure if i can be of any help but i had the same noise coming from my rear and low and behold it was my spider gear i fixed that problem and now i have the same pop pop pop noise coming from the front eather when taking off from a stop light or in 4wd on trails not too sure but maybe spider gear in you front d30

I was afraid it was something in the axle... But wouldn't it pop all the time or just when there is power going through it?

It did it before I put on a new trac bar too but it's the IRO double shear trac bar.

New update: All lower control arm bushings are worn out they are cracked and falling apart.. Should i replace? I have a tie rod end that needs to be replaced as well. And my steering box spacer is still in one piece but while looking at it i noticed fluid at the bottum of it where it connects to a bar. It wasnt leaking but is there supposed to be a bushing there?

replace the LCA's and TRE soon. Bad bushing can contribute to DW and then you'll get to deal with other parts going out quickly.

If you're gonna do the bushings you might as well do the arms so your camber can be correct to be honest. But yes, you could just do the bushings if you want.

Yeah you can, I ran that way for awhile and never had problems other than the bumpstop rubbing the spring when it was compressed. I'm just a firm believer in going stronger if you can, even if it is only a stepping stone to where you want to be one day.

And yes, those would be fine and stronger than the stock ones.
