    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...

    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...

I allready have springs on there (Rubicon Express) for a 4 inch lift, which is what I have. Should I keep...

    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...
