Ok so the carnage pics are too big to post, but heres the wierd angle...and yes that ground is flat. Its my grandparents private camping spot and gramps likes to back in and have it be level w/o doing more then unhooking the trailer. If you look close, you can see that the front end is way lower then the rear end...

Ya but it's not that bad, I have seen small trucks with fullsize springs in the rear that look way worst that that LOL , But i can see why you want it fixed.

yea not to leave out that once i hit 15mph i over drive my low beams and at 25 im over drivin the highs. At freeway speed, doin that 12 seconds ahead look thing i look over my headlights. The adjusters are all smashed and tweaked so its not like i can adjust it. and not to mention i got my drivers seat at a funky angle to make me feel level while driving...

FYI the rear trackbar isn't a drop it's to raise one side. Mine is anyways. Where did you get your track bar from?

It's nice to see the ZJ getting some press in the rags these last few months. i donot think it's too much to ask to have some zj orwj stuff every third issue...... What do you think about the whole 33x10.5 tires they say will fit a zj with 3.5 lift? I was wondering if they had any rubbing issue's ?

I got my HD track bar, frame mount for it and the rear bar drop/Raise (what ever it is...) from Rustys Off Road. They just came to my parents house on monday, so i havnt seen them yet. I will be putting them onto my jeep come saturday.


As far as the whole 33x10.5 tires, im liking that whole thing, Once i get my front coils on my ZJ and ill have around 3" of lift or so, ill see how possible it is for gettin those 33's on. If i can fit 33's im gonna do it. Also, a side note...I like how JP says in its roll over section how to prepair for a roll by to make sure to have and alwayse use workin seat belts...But in the shot of the ZJ, the center shot i believe it is, the driver is not wearing his seat belt...So i guess JP is about do as it says and not as it does...Just some thing i noticed.

yea i so hope i can get my parts on my ZJ. My parents have a shop garage that i can work in so rain or shine im able to work on my ZJ. For me though, being the nice guy that i am, i am puttin my ZJ on the back burner this weekend and im goin to fix the GFs car before mine...Figure since mines running and hers isnt, mine has to take the back seat...I guess that makes sence...either that or im just way to nice...But if shes happy thats all that matters...

yea i had nice weather here. I got my XJ coils onto the front and it gave me the 3" of lift like they said it would. I also got on my longer brake lines. I am unable to drive my ZJ though, as the HD track bar i orderd was missing the frame mount, so yea i have no track bar, as the stock one is like a good 1"-1 1/2" off from even going into the hole...So yea i have to wait a week till i get to see how my ZJ handles the XJ coils and maybe another week till i can 4x4 it and try it out...


I still have to get my rear track bar drop/raise thing on, and also the rear brake lines... But in all im happy with the products i got. Time will tell how well they work, and i will again be ordering from Rustys here soon for some longer LCA's, and some sway bar disconects.
