I bought freedom offroad but ended up not using them, for a couple reasons. One, I corrected caster with the drop brackets I already had installed and thought the weight savings of not using them would be good. I already have additional weight up front with some plow hardware and I feel the...

I don't remember, but I can definitely figure that out and adjust the axle position. That's easy and can't hurt, thx!

Bumping this because I still have a pull to the left. I guess I was just too enthusiastic about wanting it to be fixed that I felt it was. I see two possible options, one which I will try today is to increase tire pressure on the left front so it's higher than the right. The other option...

Pretty amazing what a degree of caster does. I don't have any pull until I get above 60mph, and then it's reduced and sometimes shifts from one side to the other depending on the crown. I can actually take my hands off the wheel for a bit, or drive with a knee for a bit. I know that seems...

I moved my upper arms down a hole in the brackets, now I've got 4.75 deg of caster - see how it feels on the road tomorrow morning. I forgot to look at the driveshaft, I guess what I've done is stolen a degree of angle there but that's probably ok.

I think you're right about measurements off the ball joints being unreliable. I just got alignment rack numbers this morning. Camber is -.06 each side, caster 3.6 left, 3.8 right - so the 3.7 I measured off the pinion is good. The 5.25 off the ball joint is possibly no good. Toe is .09 left...

I'm going to say no, but I only drove the Jeep in stock form for a week or so. I did the lift and new tires at the same time. My pull is very slight, it could be radial pull. Tomorrow morning I will have alignment rack numbers which will help me verify that I can measure correctly, and that I...

Thanks for responding, no I have the stock damper on there.

No, I have the good year wrangler adventure kevlar tires, and I've done several rotations to try to isolate tire pull and while it could be the tires in general it's not any specific tire or pair of tires as the rotations have had no effect. I will say though, that all of my wheels do not stand...

This is my first post, kind of looking for any knowledge you might have on this subject. I bought a 2016 sahara with 36k on it back in May, which was unmolested at the time. I lifted it 2.5 inches front and rear with a spacer kit. I centered the rear axle with a relocation bracket, and the...

Back in the mid 90's I liked the look of the XJ so my wife and I went to test drive one. If I recall, it was 14k. It was white, and I had been driving a 90 Toyota short bed reg cab with a bit of a lift which I only paid 10k for. We walked away, sort of surprised at how Jeep could be asking 14...
