I have a feeling the 55128 (0-2" lift) and 55239 (2.5" +) would both be ok, but Rancho said the risk would be the smaller (55128) could over extend, since it's shorter. So, I ordered the longer 55239 just to be safe.

Ordered 2" BDS spring lift for the Tj, along with the 55128/55240 Rancho shocks. Have not installed the lift/socks yet, because I also ordered .75" spacers for up front to get rid of some of the rake. Now, I wonder if I ordered the right shocks for the front... I know it's kind of a tweener...

What size/length do you suggest to hold the hockey pucks in for bump stops? Thinking about 1/2" so I can squeeze it under the perch in back. Not sure how many pucks I'll need, but I assume 1 or 2. I'd like to be able to purchase everything before I start so I don't have to run back to the...

Thank you for the info. How much lift did you do?

That's exactly what I thought too. In fact, the few shops I called for an estimate made no mention of purchasing/installing bumpstops when I told them it was a 2" lift... I knows this will go against the popular opinion, but I thought of just putting 1-2" in, as a "just in case" measure. I...

I'm not totally against it. I heard they don't necessarily fit within the rear spring, and you have to shave them down a bit. I guess I felt something made to fit would be easier....

Those look nice. I can't imagine them taking any longer than other bump stops to install though, right?

I realize I won't know the size bump stops I will need until I cycle the suspension, but I'm willing to take a chance buy purchasing some ahead of time (and returning/exchanging them if they won't work out). I am HOPING I won't have to keep my TJ on jack stands while waiting for parts to come...

Thats what I was thinking. Thanks for confirming that.

Trying to decide between a spring lift or budget/spring spacer style. It seems the different between a BDS spring lift and a Budget/Spring Spacer type of lift is only a hundred or two more, if I am reading it right. Don't they take the same amount of time to install, since with both you are...

I'll be watching this. I'm in the "getting a 2.5" lift and wonder if I need adjustable control arms, and if so will lowers be sufficient" group....

1999 TJ (SE) here. I know this has been covered, but there seems to be a lot of differing opinions on it. I am planning on getting a 2" lift (BDS most likely), and I want to make sure I have everything I need, since I'll be installing it myself. I don't want to go through the trouble of tearing...

On the Bartacts website, it states the coyote color of seat covers are "unavailable". It has stated this for quite awhile now, and I'm wondering if I have to jump on it whenever they are available, or if there is no plan to produce more. Anyone have any experience in ordering from Bartacts, and...

I've been looking for a Mopar Crankshaft Position Sensor for my '99 TJ (2.5L). I looked online and see different part numbers for it. I see some that show up on Amazon, but the part numbers vary, and the top of the page says it will not fit my vehicle (although the description lists my vehicle)...

I'm tired of trying to chase down a miss my '99 TJ (2.5L) is having. I'm ready to take it to a shop and just tell them to find the issue. We have a local Jeep dealership with a repair facility in it, but we also have quite a few repair shops that work on jeeps (we live in the country, so there...
