Finally......

Had to get creative with bump stops. Just used an old Fox coil perch as the new top mount.

I tried putting the bigger mount on the bottom of the bump stopped but the coil wouldent fit over it.

Still need to get a few more parts from Bubba but waiting for the wife goes back to work before I spend any more money.

Not sure how I missed your rig thread...looking great. How you repurposed those oem hood latches on your rear deck was pretty slick...

Anybody got any good tips to get the air compressor to stop purging. I bought the steel cable airline from Poly Performance and I get about 2-3 minutes before the compressor purges are for about half a second with the Locker on.

When I turn the locker off I don't get any air purges with ARB compressor.

I've done the soap test and see the leak is between the canister and the solenoid and cant get it to stop.

I have taking everything apart, cleaned the threads, use thread tape and thinking about running silicone around each air fitting.

Maybe try some pipe dope or rtv on the threads.

So I put a few hundred miles on the Jeep since the axle install. The tie rod the track bar ang ball joints are all brand new. My front Caster is right at 7 degrees but the Jeep seems to float around more than it did before. At what point is too much Caster bad?
