    Moog lower ball joint

    Don’t know if they’re the same as the bushings for the 05, but I have two laying around here, I bought them with a new rack to replace it all, and the new rack also came with new bushings.

    Moog lower ball joint

    I installed the k3199 ball joints, based on tommudds recommendation, in my 05, and they work just fine for what it’s worth

    I wonder why Discounts computer is showing that as stock offset. I’ve decided on 16x7 wheels with 4 inches of backspacing, just saving up the money for them at this point. Can’t afford the MOABs I’ve found, because they would end up close to $600 after mounting. I did find the ones I want...

    05 Lift questions

    I remeasured today after driving for a couple hundred miles, and I’m at 21.5” all around now. I assume it just needed to settle after I lifted the front of the vehicle. Also, I spoke to Discount tire today, and they said the stock backspacing for my Liberty was 5.625”. Did different liberty’s...

    I was only asking because the 4.5” of backspace cut quite a bit off the price. 5” is what I’ll look for for an 8” wheel

    05 Lift questions

    I’m looking into new wheels currently, because with all these new parts and the alignment, I had to put a spacer on just to use my vehicle until I can afford new wheels. The UCA is pushing into the tires. Would 16x8 wheels with 4.5” of backspacing work on this vehicle and fix the rubbing? I...

    The only things I did were the springs and coils with new mounts and coil isolators, and the 1/8th clevis on the drivers side of the vehicle. I put in new JBA UCAs, Moog lower ball joints, new outer tie rods, and new rack and pinion. I didn’t put anything else in the front. Two coil isolators...

    Actual Lift Amount - Lets Compare Fender Heights

    I just installed those coils and shocks in the front as well, no top plate, with an 1/8th inch clevis on the driver side, and I'm sitting at 22 up front, and without an extra isolator, with 948s and Bilstein 24-185660 shocks in the rear I'm stilling at 21.5. All of this before alignment. I will...

    Ok, everything is fully put back together. The steering no longer complains when turning the wheel, the suspension is definitely more firm, and I measured every corner now that it's where it's gonna stay for a while. I'm at 22 in the front and 21.5 in the rear, on both sides.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I got my full lift done with extended bump stops front and rear, upper control arms, lower ball joints, rack and pinion and outer tie rod ends. Very thankful for my buddy that worked with me yesterday, and for all the help from this forum. Now to get the rest of it done so I can start driving it...

    I got a flathead jammed up the front edge, pried down a bit, and then pulled them the rest of the way out by hand wiggling them back and forth. They almost felt glued in, but I’m sure it’s just cause they’ve been sitting there for 15 years

    So if I take it for a quick spin, they might work themselves off the control arms? I’ll give that a try once we tighten down the last bolt on the driver side and finish bleeding the rack. Had to stop with the impact for the night, didn’t want the entire neighborhood to hate me. Do you think...

    So after reassembly, the driver side is sitting at 21.5 front and rear, passenger side is at 22 front and 21.5 rear. My jba UCAs are pushing in to the tires however. So until I can afford to buy the right wheels, I’m gonna take my old explorer wheels and put those on. They are 16x7 with less...

    So I figured out how to get the old bump stops out, but I can’t seem to get the new ones in. Any easy tricks, or is it a matter of brute strength?

    The front is coming together, installing the uca on the passenger side, got the lower ball joint in and greased on the same side, now we’re starting on the rack, then tearing apart the other side while power steering is draining

    It definitely seemed thicker than that,, I should have taken a picture of the hole after drilling it.

    Looking at the current setup, I’m not sure how the front bump stops attach. Is there a trick to removing the old one and installing the teraflex ones?

    So the spring perch appears to be about 1/4” thick, so it feels like there’s just not enough threads left after adding in the washers as well. That is tightened down to where it felt like it was locking, but not flush with the end of the nut.

    I bought hockey pucks off amazon. I’ll get a picture today when doing the second side. I have to get a friends help with putting the bolt on as well because I couldn’t fit my fingers under the spring perch to get the nut on the bolt. Ice Hockey Pucks for Practicing and Classic Training...
