swapped out my springs with a used set of OME 2" HD I need to measure but am not sure it sits higher if it does it is not much or an illusion

I do believe I had the other rear springs on upside down I had the tighter wound end of the springs up at top, would this make a difference in the ride height etc.?


we swapped the Schrader valves on the A/C since they were both slow leak and while doing the springs found the rear A/C line that runs in the driver rear wheel well was soaked in tracer dye right where it goes in front of the shock, the fitting is tight I am afraid I nicked the line somehow when I changed the shocks so cleaned the line and hope to pin point the leak if more dye comes out

I still have an oil leak not bad it drips off the oil filter ( filter is tight) it is also dripping from the line next to the filter but is not coming from that lines fitting behind the filter, ideas?

No particular way to clock the springs. Not sure that having them with one particular way up would change anything. They should sit nice and level.

I need to take a pic with new springs, rides good but got to get more weight over the back I topped out the Bilstien shocks a few times on a short trail ride to try out the springs I have the front sway bar off but do not see any reason to remove the rear sway

It will allow you much greater flex but if you don't have the shock length it really doesn't matter.

Long shocks make a big difference. This is on TF 2" springs

I don't wheel that crazy lol, ideas on my oil leak or a/c issue?

also ordered a thrush welded muffler and an over the axle pipe since I my over the axle is rotted out on the seam and we lost the tail pipe 2 days ago ( no rear muffler we just had pipe in place)

More than likely one if the oil cooler lines. Mine drips off the filer and its the line that goes into the bottom of the pan. Leaks at the rubber/metal joint. I have a new line going in on the next oil change

went wheeling today and on the way there got some weird temp readings with the a/c on the gauge on the dash was steady 8 o'clock entire time never budged

the UG was going wacky 188 then 192 then 201 then 198 then 202 then 195.8 seemed to settle there with the a/c off there is no friggin way I am still having problems later on trail riding no a/c it was jumping 185 to 192 and I mean all the numbers above it was literally jumping from one to the next no gradual increase or decrease, do I just have a bad temp sender for gauge? do I have a short?

the dash gauge has not gone above 8'oclock since I burped it after the head gasket job
