They wanted ~$450 to do axle seals and bearings, $1,600 for oil cooler, spark plugs, and valve Cover gaskets, and $500 for rear brakes and shoes. I’ll get the chromoly to fix #1, bbk to fix #3, debating about #2.

I received this note and some quotes for each.

Looks like the upgrade to bolt in chromoly from Revolution is $775. But a little down on the priority list.

I’ll take a look when I get home. I should be able to see with the engine cover off, correct?

Another quote for rear axle seals and bearings. That does seem like a straightforward DIY job. Hell I could go with chromoly for what labor costs.

I don’t think it has. I bought it with 88K miles on it. I’ve put a few K on it but not many.

So post re-gear the shop sent me an unsolicited estimate on repairs they recommended. They suggested I replace the oil cooler, plugs, and valve cover gaskets. Parts price are reasonable. 6.5 hours @ 139 doesn’t seem too terrible but it’s $1,600 or so. After the regear that sucks

Ah...so that is what is meant by "roll center"...it's the angle of the rear axle. I guess this is similar to the caster issue in the front.

They seem to say they will... "The TeraFlex JK 2.5" Performance Spacer Lift Rear Track Bar Frame Bracket restores the track bar to its natural position without binding or interference with other components on JK models with a 2.5" Performance Spacer Lift Kit." Is it hype? I've been bamboozled...

For a 2" lift, would you recommend an adjustable rear track bar or a rear track bar bracket? I'm trying to center the rear axle with respect to the frame and I see both choices but don't know the difference between the options. I haven't noticed anything on the drivability--just observed the...

Got the Jeep back. Liking having all six gears. Does need an alignment. I’ll get the LCAs in and get that done.

No calls yet one way or another. Went open in the front and TT in the rear so it’s probably as simple as it gets for that sort of thing.

Dropped the Jeep off for the regear. I hope I don’t get the same bad news. After my small lift I made need to get an adjustable rear track bar as it’s off within an 1/2” or so.

my true tracks will be right there with you

I went with the AEV 2" spacer lift and the tires are 35x10.5r17s. Once I decided I wanted to keep the 75th anniversary wheels that color match the bumpers, all the other decisions fell into place. The 7.5" wheel is well within the range of the 10.5" tire and because the tire is narrow and only...

Mine goes in on the 4th. That’s the last step.

Little worried about this. Should I be?
