Getting the Wheeling Fever
i plan on getting the alignment this following week but i do plan on putting in the new grease pockets on the tie rods. they were just 3.99 apeice from quadratec since mine were worn out already and leaking i might as well and i didnt want to spend all that money to buy the the tie rod ends all together so i just ordered th egrease pocket in case that wasnt it. and abou tthe adjustable control arms my lift came a set of longer arms would that work cause i have them on there right now. but the last jeep that i had(rip) it was a 97 tj and i installed the same lift with no driving problem what so ever but i hope that the allignment works.

well that i am not actually sure. i did afew things at once. when i first put the stabalizer shock on the problem didnt go away,but it did get better. so from there i ordered new grease pockets from quadratec(energy suspensions) installed them and loaded them up. those took a lot of play out of my drag lings and what not,i went back over the marks for my allignment and reset them to where i had marked them and seeing how the front track bar reloc. bracket had kept workin itself loose,i had welded that,and somewere throughout the mess of adjusting and fixing the problem was solved. i had switched jobs and could not afford an allignment so the front end is still loose. and after a few weeks i ended up loosing too much money and dad took over the t for me.so now i have a guy interested in my civic hatch for his cj. the cj has a few problems. theres not too much rust at all. the frame looks damn good,but there are a few spots on the tub. but the good about the cj is the big 60 in the rear,buffed up front and rear bumbers,hard top,solid doors and a buffed up roll cage. im not sure what they did to put 229 or as ive heard it called the 301 in. the guy that has it now said he thinks it has a factory trans.not sure if that is possible.its geared really low. he said he always takes off in 2nd. guessing a 3 spd with a granny gear. lots of torque. the cj is on 6 of lift from what ive been told it 36 but has a little rub on tight cornernig. he said it has a 2in body and 4 susp. does all this see right. but as of work being done to it all it needs it a little work to the steering,its fairly loose,and the frivers side lockout housing is broke.

That is one way to fix it.

I had the same issue with my last 4" lift. Actually lifted me and another at the same tiime and we both had the issue. I ended up removing the drop pitman arm and the other lowering bracket and installed a Pro Comp adustable bar and the problem went away.

yeah. i plan on redoing the lift on the cj. a 4inch suspension and leaving the 2 inch body and throwing the 1 in shackle on and getting about 7 the jeep sup. has 6 already but it doesnt seem like it. it does rub a bit when turning hard on 36 not sure if that is normal or not for that setup. i just purchased 2 36x13.5 iroks today for 160,together with dan near perfect tread left. i want to be able to clear without a problem like the 4inch and 33 on the tj how big should i go to clear the iroks. one more question. im trying to figure out if the iroks are bias or radial. i checked my trxus on the tj and they radial right on the side which the irok doesnt so im guessing they are bias. correct me if i am wrong.
