Welcome from Bama! CAI you don't need. Exhaust you can replace the stock muffler with a more throaty one. Shocks, I'm really liking the SkyJacker Black Max shocks on my 08 JK.

When I first got my 08 JKU a couple of months ago, it had a slight noise. I couldn't pinpoint it due to poor hearing. It started getting louder and i knew it was a pulley type noise. So I removed the serpentine belt and checked all the pulleys and found the water pump had a slight noise, not...

Sorry I wasn't clear the shocks were unhooked and just hanging. Mo way I could have gotten the front or rear installed without unbolting them

Shocks were just sitting where they belong. Currie springs are supposed to have the most free travel. I had to compress them to install both fronts, even at full droop. The rears i popped them in with a little compression.

Those 2 pics were at full droop with shocks and swaybar unhooked. Yes i centered them and double checked once everything was hooked back up.

Ordered the 4" lift RockJock springs a week or so ago. They hit the door step last Friday. RockJock and the Currie's are great to work with. Called and spoke with Brandon Currie and told him what I wanted and he recommended a spring kit. Started the install yesterday, got one front spring...

Ok got the wheels and got everything installed yesterday!! They may rub off road, but they don't rub just running around.

Welcome aboard Brother! Just realize these things are not a TJ. My 08 is a good ride but its not a TJ!! These guys will help you all they can.

Luckily Blaine has more :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Yes i would, I just don't know the millage mine were done at :confused: But figured its would have been between 150 and 180 or so. The PO's son was driving it then.

My 3.8 has 218500 on it. It has head gaskets and oil leak fixed and I just put a water pump on it.

Well got home from work, ate supper, started on the water pump at 6:30..... by 7:30 was finished, took BBJK for a 20 minute test drive. Way quieter and no leaks!!!!!!!!!

Heard a mysterious noise coming from the front of the 3.8 today. Got home from taking Dad to church and took a gander at it. Took the serpentine belt off, spun everything that would spin, the water pump pulley was making a noise. Fired it up with the belt off, no noise, put the belt back...

According to my build sheet, I believe mine is 4.10 and yes its still underpowered. I run my 06 TJR with the OD off and even wheel it on 33's with the stock gears. The JKU needs at least 4.88 or 5.13 with 33's to make it tolerable in my opinion. The JK guys here are more knowledgeable on...

I picked mine up locally from a friend. I gave $5500.00 for it knowing it had some small issues and 214xxx miles. Bottom photo is with my TJR, top is next to a JL.
