    Leveling out the YJ

    I have a 93 YJ that I have installed a 4" Rubicon lift on. My problem is that now the front end sits about 1-2" lower than the back and it looks like 60's bulevard cruiser. What is the easiest way to level out the front and still pass inspection?? Blocks? I like jeeps that have a level stance...

    Refinishing rims?

    I just restored a set of original 60's era Dragmasters (Torque Thrust Style) for a 64 SS Nova I am building. I took the wheels down to "Metalmasters" in Murray. They glassbeat the rim to clean it up and then put a high, and I mean HIGH polish on the outer rim. When I got them back, I was amazed...

    Spring-over...or not?

    Based on what I have read here, I will keep the RE lift. I am on the road every day as a construction estimator. I love the manueverability of the Jeep and need it to handle well every day, I can't afford finicky problems. I expect to work on this, that's the fun of it. I just hate to work that...

    Spring-over...or not?

    Good point, this is a daily driver, 33" tires, 4.5" Rubicon lift with 2" body lift. I already have the lift. Price is not as important as having a reliable vehicle that will not become problematic. I take it offroad once a month if I can find the time. This is not a serious rock crawler, but I...

    Spring-over...or not?

    I have heard a lot of discussion as to whether a spring over is better than using a purchased lift kit which includes the springs ie, Rubicon or any other kit. One 4x4 shop told me that a spring over was truly the way to go for a softer, more flexible ride. The other told me to stay with the RE...
