  • New suspension, what should I do, go.

    So I got more money back from income tax than I thought, so I want to make my jeep be mint again.

    It doesn't drive straight, the exhaust rotted, check engine lights, ugly wiring I just want to make it like sick again.

    So I want to long arm it, cause that'll make it ride 100x better, fix the shitty trackbar mount in front by replacing the mount or plating it.
    Plate the rear bumper mount cause the bolts got pulled through from yanking people out of ditches all winter.
    New tiaz.
    New front bumper.
    Clean up the wiring under the hood
    And that cyclone hood vent thing.

    So first, what should I get for suspension setup? clayton? Also, what's the pro's and cons with triangulating the rear or 4 linking it?

      For some reason i've been loving rock krawlers 3-link front setup lately, look into that. And i can't really think of a reason not to triangulate the rear, doooo eeeet.

            You wont most likely. Seriously take a look at this kit, i can't find a price but i have heard nothing but good about rock krawler kits. Maybe somebody else will chime in about them.

            Go to wrangler, then tj upgrades and the long arm systems should be the bottom 2

                          Idk what people expected but just look at what a cherokee long arm setup costs, usually between 700-1200 bucks or so. Considering tj's have twice the mounting brackets/arms/etc. that a cherokee has i don't see why the price is so outrageous.

                            It's outrageous to me cause it costs over 5 times the initial cost of my jeep and 2/3 the total I have into it. Just amazes me what companies charge for bent steel.

                            I guess that's why I just build everything.

                              If you're good at something, you dont do it cheap.

                              3 Links and Triangulated four links take a bit more than just welding some mounts and throwing radius arms on though... so youre paying for all the time on with math, excel sheets, and lots of R&D.
