I'd NEVER risk damage to the ball joint grease seals to remove a spindle (plus the extra work) just to change a wheelbearing/hub assembly.

At $5.50 per gallon,I am seriously thinking new fuel injectors here.
Lifted/ big tires = re-rear it.
Having too much stuff in jeep does not help either!
Currently I am driving at 15 mpg hwy....having to say...

5:45 this morning took the RR tire off, found the nail in it, pulled said nail, plugged tire, reinstalled and drove it to work. A truly great way to start the day.

Now, take it to a tire shop and have a patch installed inside to seal the innerliner.

There ain't no flippin' way I could get a decent alignment at 5 inches of lift. At 3.75" it's barely in spec.

I've always wondered if my JBA UCA's are a little off - can't get enough camber out of them.

Good job 4x4kayak2112 :waytogo:

^ Sometimes I often wonder if the shop alignment equipment is calibrated... is it out of alignment? :Good or Bad:
Or the guy doing the alignment, is he familiar with the KJ OR..has he been smoking something? :mexsmoke: :icon_lol:

All depends on how far you want to push things Bob
We build em to be DD and put on lots of miles everyday
Mines in spec at 4.5 but never going any higher, no need to and next build is going to be even lower

Mines a daily driver and I built it for daily driving. Basically I took the JBA 6" lift and "cut it down" to 5" lift. I have installed a few JBA 6" lifts, so I knew what went into them.

And I need to go higher with bigger tires because I have moved on from the malls and the ranch roads. Going to Rubicon here soon. Any of yall wanna tag along?

Heres the alignment sheet.

:happy175::shrug::ROFLJest:
wow, who am/was I answering
If MOAB weren't so far away sure would love to go and show what 32s and 4 plus inches of lift would do.
have to remember I started out wheeling an old Willys with no lift ( same as the original Jeepers who went over the Rubicon )

mounted the plow up and parked it outside by the road with the 'iPlow' sign on it.
mostly so I could have space in the garage to clean up the unmitigated disaster it's turned into.

unrelated:
went outside to verify which trailer jack I need to get, to replace the now broken one. discovered the trailer plug is destroyed. looks like he dragged it on the ground from Ohio to here. it's ground down 3/4 way though 2 of the terminals!

initial test: how to make a longer, plow adapter bracket.

yes, I know the underside needs some lovin'. it's coming... I promise.

suggestions on type of paint(s) to use under there would be appreciated. brush or rattle can, I don't care, although I'd think brush would be less messy and with less overspray.
