Hi, My names johnp and im a jeep-a-holic,
i joined this group to save myself, as i bought another jeep,
having an old ******* a long,,long time ago, i miss her,
,
My first step to recovery was to be an *** and almost wreck up on a
mountain in snow, yes youve all herd the story,
But hence now the nickname dirty dich dawg,,
,
My second step to recovery was to buy a winch, so i now can get off the
dam mountainand not have to bend my leaf-spings like pretzels,
,
my third step to recovery was to purchase and insall my 2.5 skyjacker
spring lift, me and my son did both front and rear today,
luckily none of my bolts had froze up so just some heavy muslle
got em undone,
new shocks, skyjacker 8000 nitro,
went for a ride on some back-blacktop and highway,
and all i can say is,
SWEET- RIDE, better than the original springs by far,
i no longer have the whooo,whoo, when i hit a line in the pavement,
it tracks perfectly, and breaking, is in a straight line,
road bumps are smooth and not butt-jarring, no more titty-dance for the
wife,,,grrr,ok, theres still some action, grin,
but now it rides like a jeeps supposed to ride, i think anyways,
like a small short truck, without all the pounding,
without the trak-bar extension, i was worried,
and without the trans-case drop,
but i have no vibration, maybe im lucky i dont know,
maybe later itl show itself like a bad kitty,
but thats on the sixth-step to recovery anyways,
im good for now, with extra u-joints, just in case,
,
next step will be to take it up into the woods for a beating and see if
itl keep on ticking, least now im extra confident i can realy get
myself in deep with that winch,,grin,,,
,
stay tuned for the 4th step to recover as i install a "no slip"
locker in the rear,
so ill have questions, dont know if im "C"-clipped or not,
,
anyways im johnp
and im a jeep-a-holic,
thanks for sharing,
