    Help finding steering stabilizer bracket bushing

    Thanks for the reply. You would think that would be the simple answer.

    HOWDY from Central Texas

    I've got the BDS 2.5" lift on mine and I'll get the drive shafts after I get the body weight down on it so I have the right length shafts. I am staying with the 3.54 gears. Going to run the 32x11.5 ko2 on it so I could keep the same bandwidth. Should be good I think

    HOWDY from Central Texas

    Hey there. I'm Jim and I hail from the Austin, TX area. I've been a long time jeep fan but just now putting one together. I have to admit I have a lot to learn and a ton of questions.
