Just wanted to see if anyone wanted to go to Prarie city next Saturday the 27th at 10am? Got my lift put on and want to test it out before I plan a trip out off the local area

Don't forget to replace the rear track bar bracket before abusing it too hard. I think I will be there.

If I am in town I will be there but as of right now I will be out camping.
Here is your to-do list for the Jeep:
-Recheck nuts and bolts at 100 miles and again at 500 miles. Re-check alignment at 500 miles and note any tire wear. (if there is wear and the toe-in is still good then steering ends are probably worn)
-Source replacement heims or different adjustable control arms (depends on cost since some heims can be more expensive that completely new arms)
-Check for rubbing and other issues at prairie city
-Flex the front out with sway bars disconnected to check for track bar contact with the diff cover
-Order a new rear track bar bracket to replace our temporary fix (not a shot a Rich's welding skills, but these are cheap to do right - http://www.roughcountry.com/tr.....-1087.html)
-Verify Transfer Case shift lever still goes into 4low, if not it is easy to adjust
-Take note of any shifting issues, with a transfer case drop sometimes the shifter will contact the body going into 2nd 4th and reverse. Â This is an easy fix with tin-snips if noted.
-Remove hardtop and see if driveline vibrations occur with the removal of weight
Â
If I can think of anything else I will let you know.

Glad we could be there to test out your rig. You did really well. I had fun. I did put a pretty good size dent in my frame behind the front suspension area.

It was great only had 1 problem out there but had no problems on the pyramid, stairs or any of the rock gardens. The jeep has some serious flex now too

Double flex kit does what is was advertised to do. Â Front springs seem to be about perfect though bump stop extensions are needed to prevent fender-tire contact. Â Front was flexing well with the sway bar disconnected. Â Rear was resisting flexing quite a bit, my thoughts are that the springs are rated for a rear bumper and tire carrier plus camping gear. Â Add some armor and typical trip supplies in the back and it should flex nicely too. Â
