    No codes, when I first got it running again there was a “multiple cylinder misfire” but it’s been okay ever since I drove it around. Cleared the code and it hasn’t been back. The speakers came back on today also, didn’t even really get a chance to hunt that down.

    Thanks guys! Checked the front and rear diffs and they look a little polluted. A lot of people are saying to change the transfer case fluid as well. Are there ways to prevent this? I can’t imagine the hardcore off roaders are dumping these fluids after every time out are they? I changed the oil...

    Hey guys, recently got talked into trying to hit a water hole a bit too deep. Nothing got into the air intake but it stalled out for a second in about 3.5 ft of water/mud. Got it to start again but we were sitting in the water for about 10 minutes waiting to get pulled out. When we got it out...

    JK rides rough after installing 2" spacers

    Also I’m wondering, Are there any benefits to the fox shocks over the rancho ones? Why would someone choose a stiffer shock over a smoother riding one?

They are easier to compress by hand than the OEM ones and it’s a little smoother over the speed bumps now. With the Jeep still in the ground there’s...

    Thank you! Any recommendations on brands for every day driving? Would I also need longer sway bar links?

    JK rides rough after installing 2" spacers

    Thank you guys! I think I will take it to a shop down the road that does a lot of Jeep mods. Not having a torque wrench or even a jack other than the scissor jack hidden in the bumper I’m likely to get hurt. I would like to get different shocks and likely have them look at alignment.

    JK rides rough after installing 2" spacers

    Thank you for the advice! The video I looked up did not mention replacing the shocks. I found them online and shocks were “optional” if you bought the kit from rough country. Since they were free I figured I would give them a shot. Other people mentioned the stock shocks had enough travel. I...

    JK rides rough after installing 2" spacers

    I don’t know anything about suspension so I have a question. I have a 2016 JKU Sort My buddy gave me 2” coil spacers for the front and back. I installed them using spring compressor and just Slipping them on top and relaxing the spring again. (removed the factory spacers first.) I don’t notice...
