Hey all — looking for real-world feedback on ball joints for JKs.
I’m running a 2012 JKU Rubicon on 37s with a 3.5” lift. I’m about to rework the front axles (regearing planned) and will be installing Reid knuckles. Right now I’m deciding between Dynatrac, Synergy, and MetalCloak ball joints —...
That is what I came here looking for. It’s easy to get carried away watching social media people act like you need 40s to do anything. I need people to kinda catch me and put me in place. Just this past weekend I did everything in my rig with 35s and short arms as a guy with 42s with a long arms...
I really appreciate everyone’s insight. I don’t think I said I need 40s, but if I did I apologize haha. I would like 40s.
I think everyone has a good idea that we’re just younger people trying to wheel the piss out of our jeep and want it to be reliable. I think the question I should have...
Being in our mid twenties idk how realistic it would be for us to spend 20k-30k in one big chunk. It’s easier for us to be financially irresponsible in multiple steps honestly. I know that might sound stupid but breaking it up over time would work better for us.
My concern with running 40s on stock axles is wasting money on both the stock axles with regearing and what not when I’m hoping to do 60/60s anyway. That’s why I could live with different axle widths and lug patterns to get to the 60/60 axle set we really want. Does that make sense?
Would it be okay to run a full-float 60 with a stock Rubicon front 44?
I’ve got a ’12 JKUR with a 3.5 inch lift and 35s and I’m looking to upgrade axles. Realistically, I’d like to do both, but it would be easier to start with one and then do the other later. Other than the obvious downsides...
I appreciate all the feedback everyone! I have a lot to think about but I think I am mostly leaning towards a PR44 upfront and upgrading my rubicon rear 44.
My fiancée and I have been tossing around the idea of upgrading the axles on our 2012 JKU Rubicon. Right now we’re running a 3.5” MetalCloak lift with 35s, but we’d like to step up to 37s and be able to run them confidently. I can say for sure we don’t plan on going any bigger than that.
We...
Hello everyone, I’m excited to be a part of the group! My fiance and I own a 2012 Jeep Wrangler JKUR. We’ve given her a lift, tires, along with some other goodies. This isn’t my first jeep, but this is the first jeep I have wheeled seriously.
