Should be clear in post # 5, but I'll circle it here.. I installed it flipped with the exposed shaft on the axle side vs the tie rod side and it seems to be working fine in that orientation.. There is no way it would have worked the other way on my particular setup and that should be shown in...
Hopefully these pictures explain the issue. It was contacting the bracket anywhere towards a full lock turn as the tire rod moves closer to the axle.. The bracket is just not compatible with the stabilizer in that orientation.. It does work the other way around, but hopefully no other contact as...
I purchased the MC HD steering system with the fox stabilizer vs the rocksport..
When I tried to install according to the pictures on their website it would bind the body of the stabilizer (it was obvious full lock turn would cause contact. So, I flipped it around so the rod end attaches to...
One other install tip.. I did not like the way the wheel speed sensor wire was in potential contact with the antirock link on suspension cycle.. SO I removed the little clip holding it to the brake line and made a a small aluminum bracket that attached to brake line bracket bolt and routed the...
Yea, I started with the MC relocation brackets.. I misread the description and thought they would raise the mounts 1.5" it was more like 3" (which was too much for my setup). It was actually 1.5" of ground clearance they were referring to. So I ground off the zinc coating in welding areas...
I can verify the rear anti-rock does fit 2nd gen etorque 3.6 rubicon without any issues.
Have very little seat time so far with it on. but street manners seems identical to the stock with maybe a tad more compliance in the rear.. This is with the links in the forward holes.
No real offroad...
I'll have to see how it feels but overall I have always felt the rear was a bit stiff on my particular setup. I've kept it light and have no spare etc. There are so many factors with where the bump stops are etc that impact how it feels.. All the sway bar really does in reality is shift spring...
I've got one on the way so will know soon.. Turns out I pretty much need to run it to stop the swaybar from hitting the shocks at full droop now that I have added a little more down travel after relocating the shock mounts an inch or two. I could have tried longer end links etc.. but wanted to...
Here is a picture.. There are some bolts sticking up but mostly above the gas tank.. If the rod sits far enough aft it could clear..
I just seem to get stuck buying stuff for my Jeep and it almost never fits without modification.. Never had this problem with any other one before, but for...
I wonder if the 2nd gen etorque (3.6 etorque) are different in the mounting bolts inside that tube.. I'll take some pictures when pull the wheels off soon.
Curious if anyone has installed a rear Currie anti-rock on an e-torque JL.. It looks to me like some of the mounting bolts for the battery brackets go thru the area where the torsion bar would normally go and would interfere with the install.
I decided on the 4.5" BS.. I reminded myself this is the wife's jeep and need to stay more conservative with it for now.. I do really like the look and stability of the 3.5 though.. I'll post some pictures after I get them and put them on.
Got any more pics with the 3.5 bs wheels.. I know the 4.5 is the smart choice for my setup, but hard not to at least consider the 3.5" and then follow on with some steering upgrades.
no rubbing and no short terms plans to go bigger, but I would like to go to 38s at some point as my 37s feel really small for 37s (bfg km3s). I know the ball joints will take a bit more of a beating like the rest of the steering on the wider track... but I sure like the feel. 4.5 obviously the...
I'm looking to change up wheels on my JL Rubicon (3.5" lift, 37s, chopped fenders.)
I currently have the mopar beadlocks that came on the jeep (with beauty rings).. They are 8" 4.4 BS.. and heavy ~37lbs. I don't run them as actual beadlocks for multiple reasons, so looking to save some weight...
I had a stock 21' XR 3.6 also.. The up travel was ridiculously limited.. I wheeled it stock some. It was extremely stable with great COG, but I really wanted some more clearance and more tire and overall flex. I skipped spacers and installed a MC 3.5" gamechanger and 37s and chopped the...
Mine started out as an XR rubicon so hard to say what lift I got from MC.. But the 3.5 feels super tall. My jeep has similar parts as yours (except I have a aftermarket steel rear bumper but it is only 40lbs, and I would say it is at least 5" taller from just suspension with the MC 3.5".. The...
Excellent info.. I'll look into the synergy springs.. I'm blown away by how tall my MC lift came out.. 3.5" is a complete misrepresentation IMHO. I wish they would provide the spring rates and where the transitions are... RK does not even publish free length (but those shock lengths do seem to...
I'm shopping for springs in the 2.5" lift range..
I recently installed a MC 3.5 gamechanger setup on my JLUR..
I'm not happy with the height.. It's too tall for my liking and a bit stiff.. The build is pretty light overall as I have mostly aluminum armor... Feels like it came out at at least...
Thanks verified with MC to not use the stock Isolators when they supply them with the springs. The instructions are written for both scenarios which is super confusing.. But no point in crying about it now.. Also explains why my lift was a bit high in front.
Also, makes sense why my isolator...
