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...

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...

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...

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...

1999 Tj with the 2.5. The miss is like one quick hiccup, and when it misses I can see the tach jump during the miss. It always starts right up, idles very well, and runs great, but the miss seems to happen down the highway once in a while, usually somewhere around 2200 RPM's. I noticed the miss...

The studs for the four wheels on my '99 TJ are 1/2" x 20.... but what about the spare tire studs? I recently bought new tires and was going to put the spare on the back, but the new wheel lugs would not spin on the studs. The tire shop left the spare off because it wouldn't fit (I needed to buy...

The '99 TJ I purchased a few months back did not have door surrounds on it, so I am purchasing new ones for install. I was advised to check the mucket seals to make sure I have them. I've been looking online and it's been difficult to find anything that shows how the mucket seals should be...

I dropped my '99 TJ (SE) off at the local Chevy dealership to have my new 31's installed. I purchased GY Duratracs (31x10.5R15) from TireRack.com and on the site it listed my Chevy dealership as one that would accept drop shipment and would install them, so it was not a "tire shop". They had my...

First of all, I apologize if I didn't upload the photos correctly (please help me out if there is a better way, because it was my first time)... My soft top leaks ('99 TJ), and looking at it I wonder if there is a piece(s) missing. My seal around the door isn't the greatest (it looks a little...

I once had a '86 CJ7 with the I-6 engine. I loved that jeep, but I also remember how gutless it was, especially on the highway going up a hill. It was in great shape and I even installed a Howell fuel injection kit. Now, I have a '99 TJ, with the 2.5. I notice a lot of people criticize the 2.5...

I have an SE 2.5 1999, and it came with a 81 amp alternator. I see 117 amp alternators available. Is it a direct swap? Anyone done this? I see a lot of posts about upgrading the wiring if you go with a higher alternator. If it matters, I have AC (a previous owner added it).

Looking for a new alternator and trying to figure out which one to purchase. My build sheet states I have an 81 amp alternator, but I also have AC (many people are posting if the jeep came with AC it came with a 117 amp alternator). My build sheet also states "AC Bypass" so I am assuming...

I'm wondering if I do a 2" or 2.5" lift if I will need spacers up front. I don't have a winch, but I am considering it maybe down the road. Looking at BDS springs or maybe even RC (if I need to save money). Do you expect their would be any rake? I figure while I have it on jackstands that would...

I bought a jeep with mismatched screws that hold in the door pull handle. Yes, there are other bigger things to fix, but the OCD is kicking in... the previous owner screwed a screw into one of the holds, but there is no "bite", so the internal clip is missing? Anyone know what these are, or what...

Looking to get a 2-2.5" (new spring) lift (BDS or RC, and yes I know BDS would be better). I am going with 31's, and the occasional off-road situation will be logging roads (nothing major, but the occasional rutted dirt road) My questions: Do I need adjustable bump stops? Anyone install without...

Have a '99 TJ with 2.5, and engine light came on. Code reader says P1391 "Manufacturer Control" (research shows other TJ owners get the cam/crank sensor message, but mine just says manufacturer control, whatever that means). It runs good, but once in a while it will buck (once, as in a quick...
