    Diff Cover Hits Gas Tank

    Hi All, I have a 92 YJ with a ford 8.8 rear axle. I noticed that since I increased my rear pinion (when installing a slip yoke eliminator), the diff cover hits the gas tank skid just a little bit, when going over bumps on the road. Seems to be the thick axle plus the increased pinion creates...

    Clearance issues after installation of ECGS Ford 8.8 rear end

    Thanks for this! I was hoping I would not have to drop my gas tank and fiddle with all of those old bolts and tubes. But it sounds like there may be no way around this. Any advice? Let me know. Thanks!

    Nice. How easy was it to bend the plate?

    Tie Rod Hits Diff

    I just saw this offset rod end … Any thoughts on if I installed this on just one side of the tie rod? Would that pose any issue?

    Tie Rod Hits Diff

    The issue is that this problem first started happening with the stock diff cover. The thicker tie rod was hitting against the stock cover, which is why I bought a new cover, which was advertised as a lower profile when compared to the stock…

    Tie Rod Hits Diff

    Hi All, I am stuck with this one. I had a heavy duty rugged ridge drag link and tie rod installed. Now, because the tie rod is significantly thicker than stock, at full turn (to the left only) it hits the diff cover. I’ve adjusted the steering stops, but it’s taken a massive amount of...

    Gear box

    I actually just went with this one … RedHead Steering Gear Core. Seems like a very solid option. Lmk your thoughts. My mechanic confirmed that the steering is a little loose because of the old box. Figured I’d upgrade…

    I have a 92 YJ with the original gearbox. Lifted 4 inches with 12.5x33 tires. 4.10 gear ratio. Suggestions? I’m looking for tighter handling

    Right Leaf Springs?

    2 questions 1 - I have a 4 inch lift to my 92 YJ. The kit I used was a rough country lift. I just swapped out the springs for Rubicon Express Springs. Made for a 4 inch lift. Each new spring, front and back, are identical. Am I supposed to have different Rubicon Express springs for the front...

    Longer Leaf Springs after Shackles?

    Hi All - I recent installed boomerang shackles that give an extra 1.5 inches of lift. My question is, do I need to change my leaf springs to a larger size due to this, or can I keep them? I allready have springs on there (Rubicon Express) for a 4 inch lift, which is what I have. Should I keep...

    YH Brake Master Cylinder Replacement

    Hey everybody… I know this is a big topic on here. I recently swapped out my stock Dana 35 axle for a Ford 8.8 with disc brakes. Prior to the swap and after the swap my brakes were pretty spongy. I was told I should replace the master cylinder. Should I replace the master cylinder with the YJ...

    8.8 rear end swap

    Wondering — do you suggest any mods to the master cylinder after doing an 8.8 swap on a YJ. I just did the swap and now have rear disc brakes but my brake pedal is feeling spongy …

    Brake Power after Axle Swap

    Thanks - apparently the mechanic bled them today and still the same. Here’s some photos he sent me after the axle swap. LMK if there’s any red flags you can see …

    Brake Power after Axle Swap

    Very very interesting. Considering the front has drum brakes and the back has disc, wouldn’t the proportioning valve at least have to be modified in some way? Why am I now getting a weaker or spongier brake pedal now compared to prior the axle swap?

    Brake Power after Axle Swap

    I recently swapped out my rear Dana 35 for a Ford 8.8 axle. Everything went well, but my only issue is that the rear calipers are simply not getting enough brake fluid. I’ve read across the Internet that the stock master cylinder should be sufficient, but I know for a fact that ideally when...

    Leaf springs pulling towards one side of the car

    Which bushings - just the leaf bushings? Because I’ll replace whichever ones will do the trick.
