    Determining what lift size I have.

    It rides like a brick and I want to swap on the 56" springs while leveling it out at the same time.

    Determining what lift size I have.

    Mine has 5 leafs, so I'm wondering if it had a leaf or two added for lift, which can further complicate things.

    Determining what lift size I have.

    I may have to look for the something on the springs. I have to pull the bed off anyway to weld in new cab corners anyway, so it may be easier to just do that.

    Determining what lift size I have.

    I went to the shop to get my measurements today and the results were confusing. 8.75 front axle to lowest point on bumpstop 3.5 rear axle to lowest point on bumpstop 30.75 Bed floor to ground 74.5 Cab roof to ground They must have either moved the bumpstops or I measured to the wrong point.

    It would still push it away upon the exhaust stroke? Either way, I realized what I did wrong: I had the cap out of rotation by about a quarter of a turn, I adjusted it and re routes all the plug wires, I haven't tried to start it in two days, but now I'm semi afraid I may have damaged the...

    I had 2.5 4 cylinder 99 wrangler and a 4.2 straight 6 carbureted, the 2.5 was a dog and the 4.2 was a smog nightmare.

    Thank you. I don't believe my echlin from Napa is labeled. I'll check it tonight after work. Is the echlin any good? By the looks of it, I already need new plugs.
