1043965 I'm sooo confused! I have been reading so much conflicting stuff about lifts recently that I feel like I'm back at square 1. Body lifts, suspension lifts, SOAs, add-a-leafs - the list just goes on. Makes me think that Jeepz.com, as great as it already is, should have a forum dedicated...

1043970 I know I just posted a question (more like a plea, I guess) about lifts, but I've got another more specific one on wheels. My third-hand 90 YJ came to me with 31x10.5" tires mounted on 15x10" wheels. There is quite a dramatic offset to these wheels - I think I would have been happier...

1044110 Is a 2-2.5" add-a-leaf kit a workable modest lift for a 90 YJ? No serious off-roading planned. Mostly for extra clearance on 31" tires and appearance. Any adverse effects like stiffness, stress on other components? Sounds like ultimate inexpensive lift to me. [addsig]

1044280 Thanks to all who responded to my Nov. 10th post on Add-a-leaf kits. I'm concerned that the AAL might flatten out like I'm hearing, although I'm wondering if that is from normal on-road use or the strains of off-roading. Maybe getting the existing springs re-arched is better. Anybody...

1044409 Hi Terry. I am new to message boards and would like to know how to use it better. Are there instructions/FAQs somewhere on the site? Specific questions: How do you get the little icons into your message? What is ICQ, AIM, YIM, MSNM in the user profile? What's BBCode? How do you...

1044538 I have this slightly paranoic feeling that my YJ is "dogtracking". I don't know what else it is called, but it means when the vehicle isn't tracking perfectly straight down the road, but seems to be slightly off-parallel to the direction in which you are moving. My mechanic says that...

1044827 Is there any easy - and accurate - way to determine the offset and backspace on a wheel? I need to order a spare wheel and notice different backspacing (e.g., 3.50, 3.75, 4.00) available for 15x10 wheels like mine, which are those 8-spoke white wheels that used to be popular. I need...

1045026 Anybody have a phone number for US Wheels? Their website is "under construction" and I can't seem to find where they are or how to contact them. Just want to find out name of closest distributor (Northeast US or anywhere in Canada). Thanks.[addsig]

1046709 Anyone know at what RPM a 2.5L in a 1990 YJ develops peak torque and HP? I've been looking for this info on the Net, but can't find anything. I'd like to know how to balance power/acceleration/fuel economy. I've got that upshift light, and it insists that I upshift at 2100 RPM, which...

1055841 I'm looking for inexpensive alternatives to pre-made diamond plate corners/rocker panels for my 90 YJ. I can buy sheet aluminum for much less $$ which seems like it should do the trick. Questions: (1) What sort of prep work needs to be done before installing? I've got some rust...
