Re: 4 inch suspension nitpicking
I was on a one way two lane road, making a left turn from the right lane.
The left lane car should have been making a left turn also but he went
straight and hit me square in the side as I was turning left. His car was a
little pos and went under my jeep. Luckily he hit my step bars under the
door, cuz I didn't get any body damage, but it pushed me sideways (from the
left) into the curb on my right where I came to a dead stop. The right side
of the rear end hit the curb and stopped me, bending the rear end up so I
got a factory new one under there. Possibly the bracket being pushed so
hard by the weight of 2 vehicles got a tad bent over? Or maybe the track
bar folded a bit? I don't know. I'm gonna look around for that stuff again
today.
I'm about to go remove the front driveshaft and see if the vibes are from
that or not. I'll let ya'll know what happens!

Re: 4 inch suspension nitpicking
Wait, instead of removing my front driveshaft couldn't I jack up the rear
end, support it with jackstands and remove the wheels putting the lugs back
on to keep the drums on and put it in gear to find vibes that way? Or
should I just take off the front and street drive it?

Re: 4 inch suspension nitpicking
You can remove the rear shaft, put it into 4x4 and drive it or remove
the front shaft and drive it on 2 wheel drive.
