Yup, start-stop continuously engaging the starter and manufactures tell you with a straight face that it will not cause premature failure...Not really the manufactures fault however as government mandated CAFE standards (worse under the Clown Show currently in Washington) force them into lying...

When I installed the Dana UD44 w/4.88's I contacted Dana and was told that on Dana branded UD44's, should the locker position sensor fail, Dana would offer a replacement part just for the sensor...wish to hell Jeep would do this and not insist on replacing the entire axle assembly! On the stock...

The Mopar kits are underrated by many, but with a just few other aftermarket goodies (adjustable track bar, at least adjustable lower front control arms) they are really hard to beat if you are just running 35's. My JLR with a modified Mopar lift rode and handled great on road and did very well...

Just a little background...I am a bit picky and also a bit OCD. In a previous career life I was an ASE certified line tech at a large Chrysler-Dodge dealer and later a Mercedes tech, shop foreman and then Service Manager for one of the largest Mercedes dealers in the Southwest. I have also...

The Prorock 44's are great, another good option is the Jeep Performance Parts Dana UD44. I have a new-in-box Dana/Jeep 4.88 UD44 I will be listing soon along with a few other goodies.

When you install a lift the track bar and drag link angles will change somewhat due to their different lengths and different mounting points. However many things can affect bump steer including larger & heavier tires, out of balance/out of round tires, loose/worn suspension components, alignment...

For sure wish Jeep had done a better / heavier duty job with steering on the JL's and not a fan of these damm electric power steering pumps. On my Rubi 2-door with a 2.5" lift and 37" KO2 D's I am getting a bit too much bump steer (never DW) for my taste and I am determined to correct it...

I would love a factory Hemi in a JL, as long as that JL is a 2-door! Unfortunately a snowstorm is Hell is more likely than a V8 JLR from the factory...It is likely however the mid model refresh will feature a turbo inline 6 which should at least offer a performance upgrade over current JLR...

When you re-torque, be sure you are on a level floor, loosen all control arm / shock bolts first and bounce bumpers up and down to settle suspension. You do not have to remove the rear wheels to torque rear UCA but you will have to remove or slide out of the way the rear axle mounted bump stop...

Glad you got your steering noise fixed! Off topic, do you know what caster you wound up with on the UD44? I just installed similar setup (UD44 w/4.88, 2.5", 37's and Adams driveshaft) and without FAD, thinking 5.5 degrees caster would work well. Sure as hell wish Jeep used locking hubs on their...

Well I trashed my stock driveshaft after installing a 4.88 UD44 up front with 2.5" MC springs...I had been running 6.7/6.9 caster on the stock Rubi axle and thought I left control arms adjusted as they were when installing the UD44. I say thought because she was on jack stands for 3 months...

On my 20 Rubi 2-door (Rubi 2-door...that just sounds cool!) I use EVO engine/trans, NextVenture rear diff, Rancho rear LCA skids and Rock Hard Patriot Angled-up sliders. No complaints!

With luck, not too much...Over the past nearly two years I have ordered, installed, modified and replaced yet again waaaauy too many ($20K+- all parts, did all wrenching myself) aftermarket 'upgrades' and still have a stack of parts to install! I should be able to enjoy my Rubi 2-door in near...
