    New Jop, what should I do to it next?

    The H&R lift springs are a good option if you don't want to spend as much as an OME setup. Will give you 1.5" of lift.

    Why I don't use cheap spark plugs

    I was changing plugs on a 4.7lt Grand Cherokee today with customer supplied parts - the 4.7 takes 16 plugs and uses a different plug for the intake side and the exhaust side. Customer supplied a set of NGK's for the intake and a set of Champions :( for the exhaust side. This is a shot of the...

    2005 Liberty Runs Rough ~ DTC P2305

    The ecm will shut off fuel to the misfiring cylinder after to protect the cats - hence why your injector was not firing.

    Best year and trim for budget adventure off-road build

    If the air suspension gives you grief there are a few options out there to remove it and go back to a standard coil spring setup. Enjoy your new ride - I have always been partial to Land Rovers - used to work at the dealer back in the late 90's.

    OME/Bilstein Lift for "Quackers" our 2009 KK

    Just wondering - did you put the adjustable spring perch on your front shocks at the lowest setting and did it say in the instructions if the lowest perch is no lift?

    H&R Spring Review

    You could probably cut a bit off, don't know how easy they are to cut though.

    H&R Spring Review

    This is what the extended front bump stops look like - you can get these ones on eBay or if you call Terraflex they apparently still sell theirs but just don't have them online. they just snap into a cup on the body above the upper control arm.

    H&R Spring Review

    Took about 3-4 months to settle - the "conduit nuts" are 2" electrical conduit nuts from home depot - you put them between the bottom of the shock and the clevis to help level the truck left to right and add a bit of lift to the front to help for a bit of added weight or sagging springs. They...

    H&R Spring Review

    So far so good - I did add a couple conduit nuts up from after the front settled about 1/4". Still happy with how it drives - better than stock and not quite as stiff as the OME heavy springs. I have the springs paired with just some Monroe Spectrum shocks - will upgrade to Bilsteins when these...
