Hi All,

Finally the weather gave me enough break to do the body lift and motor
mount lift. Body lift went okay (except for the front grill bumpstop
extensions which required taking light bezels off - part not included in
the instructions). Motor mount lift on a 4.0L with air-con is a big pain,
especially the passenger side (rather driver side for the Americans). Its
doable, except for my torque wrench is too big to fit in that space so I'll
have improvise a little when I do re-torque after a little use.

As for the shakes, well acceleration vibes are all gone. The only thing
left is now a slight wobble as I start from stop at a turn. If I start
from stop in a straight line, the wobble is not noticeable. Its just that
when I start while making a sharp turn it wobble a little. What could this
be?

You mean like suspension kinda jumping and jerking... mine does that. It's
common on lifted TJ's from what I have been told. With some TJ lifts you
can pull one of the front tires (don't remember which one) off the ground
while starting in a turn.

If someone can tell us that this can be corrected, that would be great!

Yeah, my kid's TJ does this after we did the "Redneck Lift" on it.
We've also been told by a local shop that it's normal for a lifted TJ.
Makes me glad I've got leaf springs<g>.
