Some info on the Jeep. Basic Rubicon w/ factory Dana 44's in the front and rear with air lockers. Small 2.25" budget boost coil spacers with rancho rs 9000 shocks, tires at 30psi.

I've had some nice Jeeps (cj5 and 7's) and am a big Rubicon fan, nice ride.

From the "3 wheel" video Im guessing no sway bar disconect yet?

Yep (disco'd) just popped the bottom bolts off and pushed it up and the links into the upper coil pockets. Just got a small lift and the shock wouldn't let it go any lower :(

Maybe with some practice you can stop running over plants and trees.
Little thing called Tread Lightly, and it is costing us valuable wheeling land every year.
Moving on...
For the BB lift on the Rookiecon, I reccomend Old Man Emu shocks.
Head to www.jeepin.com and look around.

The whole place gets flooded out come monsoon season so I'm sure it will be gone soon :)

I've heard good things about OME def gonna look into those. Just gotta fix the dreaded death wobble now. :goof :( Gonna start by checking the torque on all the front end stuff then get the alignment done.

You need to make sure the front trackbar and the draglink are following close to the same path.
If you went up 2.5", then you need to look into longer brake lines, possible trackbar bracket, and definitely shocks.
Good luck, because it's a slippery slope.

I was actually looking into either a track bar relocation bracket or adjustable track bar. I don't have a tape measure to roughly check the toe in, but I have my fingers crossed that fixes the problem.

That ZJ is SEXY!! What kind of warn is that?
