Did the ball joints and other parts address the issues you were experiencing?

Looks good. What suspension are you running? It looks like you have some Currie Rock Jock parts on there.

As long as you're staying close to the height you were at prior to adding the heavy parts, you should be fine to add spring spacers. If you decide to use longer springs instead, be aware that actual lift varies and look for springs with a spring rate similar to what you're replacing or you risk...

I installed a catback on both my JK and JKU and they feel peppier and doesn't seem to work as hard going through the rev range.

Depends on whether you're looking at rake based on the gap between the tire and fender or if you want the frame to be level. Whichever is your concern, fill the gas tank, load up with the gear you normally carry, and then measure the gap. The difference between the front and rear measurements...

First time playing in the snow in the mountains of MD

I have a magnaflow catback, #15116. Adds some growl but no drone. In general, the larger the muffler, the quieter it will be. Also, removing the resonator or pre-muffler will add rasp to the exhaust note. If you're looking for just a muffler, Dynomax super turbo are pretty mellow with a nice...

looks great

Ouch. Just horrible

beautiful

Looks good. Hope to see you out on a ride or local event.

Chris, do you have a picture of it installed? I assume you need to use a Metra or similar install kit to fill gaps in the dash opening? Also, are you using maestro to retain steering wheel controls? I was ready to pull the trigger on the Alpine for my wife's JKU because it seems complete and...

That's the kit I installed on my wife's JKU. We saw 2.5" lift front and 1.5" rear, plenty of room for 33's. Know that the front springs are the same free length as stock and achieve height from being stiffer. Brake line extension brackets are for the rear and are 2 bolts to install. The only...

There's nothing wrong with a spacer lift as long as you care for items like brake line extensions, bumpstop extensions, and caster correction. Spacers just lose out to lift springs with regards to articulation (many lift springs are designed to allow additional droop) and load capacity (almost...

Take KBB, NADA, Edmunds, etc. values with a grain of salt. There are some vehicles in high demand that seem to surpass "book" values. A few that come to mind are the miata, S4, Speed3, and of course the wrangler. Regarding the computer programming, I wouldnt be worried. That appears to be...

Rancho RS9000 work well and have a street price of less than $100 per shock. They're adjustable so you can tailor the ride to your preference. The biggest downfall I see is the finish. Most folks recommend a couple of coats of clear over the factory finish as it's lacking, especially around...

Most of the lifts that Chris mentioned start in the $1000-$1500 range and that's because they're fairly complete and high quality. I would also add JKS to that group. If you're looking for a lower price point, you could install a Rancho 2" suspension which comes with most of what you need for...

Orange is the best color. I tried to buy several orange Jeeps but just wasn't meant to be. Don't get me wrong, I like many of the available colors but am in love with orange. Probably has something to do with the fact that my dad had an orange CJ5

Welcome. I'm in VA also. JKU's are nice. Every vehicle has common problems but our JKU has proven to be great. I also have a 2dr JK and would love to find a nice TJ or LJ. Enjoy!

I'm running half doors now but would like to run no doors periodically, mostly on the trail. It's law in my state that you must have mirrors on the road. I bought a set of bestop mirrors for the half doors so I don't have to swap mirrors back and forth between those and my full doors. I was...
