I don't have a secret. I usually drive 5 mph over the speed limit. The attached screenshots are from the fillup app I use to track the MPG. I put a 2" lift and 35x12.5x17 tires on it last August. Still getting around 20 mpg.
This video review of 6 different lifts may help. After watching this video and reading a lot of online reviews I went with the Dynatrac Endurosport 2" lift. Glad I did. Maintained the factory ride and handling on road. Absorbs large bumps better off-road. I'm running 315/75/17 (35") tires on my...
I just drove mine up on ramps in my garage. Did one side at a time. After I got the new one on one side I left the bolts loose while doing the other side. I placed an angle finder on the differential after pulling it onto the ramps to get a reading that I could compare to before I started so I'd...
Most lifts I've seen give you 1" less in the rear because most people want to get rid of the forward rake to make the jeep sit level. Sounds like you may have too much weight in the back. I know Dynatrack only recommends their 2" lift for models with the 3.6L. I assume that's due to the lighter...
The Fox shocks that come with this lift are almost $700 for 4 if bought separately. Having good shocks and springs that are matched to each other will give you a much better ride. My neighbor bought the Rough Country 2.5" lift with their springs and "premium" N2 shocks for $475 and hates it. It...
Just an update. I replaced my LCA's with Rough Country adjustable LCA. I set them at 24 3/8". Measuring off the circles on the side of the differential I'm now at 6.3 degrees. I'm surprised 3/8" gained 3.0 degrees caster. It does handle better. The main time I notice a difference is on paved...
I just replaced my Lower control arms with adjustable ones. Should I have replaced the bolts or is it OK to reuse them. Instructions that came with the control arms said to reuse stock hardware. But I've heard since the bolts are tightened to either 190 ft lb or 103 ft lb + 145 degrees that the...
Here is a good lift comparison. After watching this and reading a lot of reviews on the Dynatrac Endurosport 2". I went with it. Glad I did. I running 315/70R17 (35") General Graber A/Tx tires on my stock Rubicon wheels. No spacers need no rubing anywhere. I raised the 3rd brake light up 1...
To be honest, I'm not completely understanding what your saying. But it sounds like you are saying because the trail is farther back with larger diameter tires you need less caster to get a good handling vehicle. Is that correct?
When you add positive caster it tilts the top of the axle toward the back of the vehicle. That increases the pinion angle. When you lift your jeep it makes the axle lower than the transfer case which also increases the pinion angle.
One of my previous Jeeps was stock. The last one a 14 2 door sport was stock for 1.5 years before I put a BDS 3.5" lift on it. That lift didn't have new LCA's but had Octo Cam Washers to correct caster. That jeep felt like the wind was blowing it around on the Interstate when there was no wind...
I've owned 3 Mustang Gt's, a Mustang Cobra, a Camero Z28, 2 Wrangler JK 2 door sports. A 16 Silverado 1500 ZR1. I traded a 16 Challenger RT Shaker in on my 18 JLUR. Our second vehicle is a 19 Ford Ranger FX4. I've attached a copy of the alignment printout. It's possible they read it wrong.
I installed the Dynatrack Endurosport 2.0" lift on my 18 JLUR with stock wheels and General Grabber A/TX 315/70R17 E tires. Jeep handles better than stock. No play in steering wheel, wheel returns to center when I let go of it, No wondering. Had an alignment done and my Caster is 3.3 on both...
