Gotcha so far. Does it matter specifically which front struts I use? FRONT SHOCKS ARE EITHER BILSTEIN OR OME , JUST STOCK LENGTH SHOCKS IN FRONT
What's wrong with the 265? Too wide for 7" rims? What about 255? 265 70 AND 255 70 ARE TOO WIDE WILL RUB AGAINST THE COIL SPRING IN FRONT, NOW ON A 8 INCH WHEEL WITH 5 INCHES OF BACKSPACING THEY DO NOT SINCE IT SPREADS THEM OUT
I flex tested the suspension in the current setup and the rear is definitely hitting the bump stops, but the front doesn't hit at all. Is that because of the spacers, why do I need new ones? DUE TO STOCK/OLD ONES BEING TOO SHORT
I checked my vin and here's what I found:
5-SPD AUTOMATIC 545RFE TRANSMISSION
LOCK-UP TORQUE CONVERTER SELEC-TRAC FULL TIME 4WD SYSTEM
TRAC-LOK DIFFERENTIAL REAR AXLE
Differential is a 3.73; at what point do I have to regear? I've got 300lb Ft. of torque at 1800 rpm; driving isn't my concern, but my MPG is sure to go down. BIGGER TIRES PLUS TALLER/ HEAVIER WILL OF COURSE MAKE YOU LOSE POWER AND MILEAGE , I RUN 4.10S WITH 265 70 16S AND POWER AND MILEAGE ARE SAME AS STOCK
I'm new to the KJ community, mostly only studied the TJ; all my questions are for information, I'm not trying to argue ;-)
Automatic.... is it a stick?
Great job, done right !!Finally, 4.10 gearing and front and back ARB AirLockers!
With 4.10 regearing the Jeep doesn't stall anymore...
Take a weekend off , have a set sitting waiting for someone, anyoneNot much Jeep stuff going on at the Fortress of Squalitude, just hauling remodel materials and searching for 4.10s.
