Re: Just lifted my Jeep. now I cant get into 4wd
Wow youre a lifesaver! Thanks a bunch. Im going out there right now to do
it!
Before I purchased the lift I wouldnt have had any confidence to do this
myself. When it was being installed at the shop, I helped the guy out
because I wanted to learn (not to mention he was giving me a discount on
labor). Im just an 18 year old kid that should know more about my Jeep. I
saved my money since Feb. for this thing and the last few days have been the
best learning experience for me.
Now for another question: Is it possible to purchase an adjustable rear
trac bar? I need to adjust it cause the drivers side rear tire is rubbing
on the coil spring just a little when i hit bumps and such. The reason for
this is mainly because I am using the stock wheels, which I shouldnt be
(they are the next thing on my list once I get the money).
Thanks a bunch guys!

Hi Nathan,
Don't you, along with centering the lever in the hole through the
floorboard, make the hole bigger?

Re: Just lifted my Jeep. now I cant get into 4wd
Some hafta, some don't. I lucked out. I'm also running a body lift and the
transfer case is lifted another couple inches above stock...
Bill brings up a good point though... If you get any rubbing, the tub can be
"adjusted" for clearance. You might wanna watch out for rubbing on the tub
under the shift boot in the Jeep, too. If you notice it's tough to get to
(or stay in) 2nd, 4th or reverse especially.
