Yes, right noew I have a lot of vibes. I need a reallignment, and a better balance on the tires. I'm getting something new, and not many people know about it, but its a baggie they put into the tire, it basically melts and goes to the spots that need balance. No need for weights or anything. They use it on box trucks and tractortrailers. The guy said that they use it often for off road vehicles with large tires. Its about 20 bucks a tire. So that with an allignment will definitely do the trick. Sorry, don't know whan an MML is!

No, I havn't noticed any. My tires stick out so far now, I can actually see them when I'm driving. The one rear one is causing the problems, at highway speeds. I will be balancing them better.

Thanks! I'm doing my 2" Rusty's coils this Sunday...I'll post pics when I'm done. I also got 3/4" spacers for the front to level it out a bit.

So hows the ride over factory? It does have a better stance to it. |

The ride is pretty good. Much more firm than factory. Kind of reminds me of the short Rubicon I test drove when I was Jeep shopping. Corners much better than stock. Overall I like it.

Jeep looks good Dixiefried. Your making me homesick. I was born and raised in SD and man do I miss it. I haven't lived there since 1995. So much to do within a 2 hr drive, snowboard one weekend and soak up the rays in Mexico the next. I didn't have a Jeep then, I can only imagine the off-road possibilities. I've lived all over the US the past decade and I still, politics and cost of living aside think San Diego is one of the best places to live. I've been back a few times and it seems to grow substantially every time I see it. Where is everyone getting the funds to buy homes at those prices?
Excuse me while I reminisce...
10" of rain a year, endless beaches, Alberto's Carne asada burritos and chicken tacos, In-n-out burgers, PB Bar and grill, La Jolla, Togo's sandwiches, Gaslamp district, Karl Strauss Brew pub, the best seafood restaurants, etc, etc, etc...
I need to stop, this is getting a little masochistic.
On a side note: Is Beach Combers and Moondoggies still open? If so, hold up a beer during sunset for me.
