The TJ stands for Tate Jeep Buildup

I want 2.5s but the 2.0s are so much cheaper that it is hard to spend the extra

[Shaggy]

I got the ram tacked on. had to play with it for a while to get it to fit with the trackbar

[AggieTJ2007]

why not move the tie rod down to get rid of all of those washers or at least get some proper misalignment spacers.

Also move your ram down so that it is perfectly parallel and perfecly inline with the tie rod

[JB]

Shouldn't both rod ends of the ram be in teh same plane? And whats up with the washers?

[Shaggy]

Washers give me 1" more movement with tie rod not hitting the diff. It allows me to not put a stop in my 8" ram where I would have to put one in without them. They are temporary until I get proper hardware. I have read that there is nothing wrong with steering spacing as I do it right.

[Shaggy]

And jb. They don't Have to be the same.

[Shaggy]

I will move the ram forward a little though

[bcolman]

they do not have to be the same, but it will work more efficiently if they are in the same plane

I'd get some castle nuts and cotter pins for the steering bolts, thats scary,almost as scary as 2000 pounds balanced on a high lift for a long term project.

Yes. How much more effort would it take to do it right the first time?

[Shaggy]

It wasn't on the highlift for more than 5 min for the pic.

i ordered a pair of fox 2.0 12" travel

[RCcola55]

go ahead an get a litrogen set up too, it will be a lot easier to fill and tune your shocks if you dont have to take them anywhere, plus the 2.0" are gonna need a bunch of air to hold up that jeep

[tigweld]

thats why i said 2.5's they would be at a much more desirable nitro level for the front of a full bodied jeep. airshocks are for light weight stuff, originally designed for buggy independand front ends.
