Jeep stopped putting cam bolts on TJ's after 97 (which is the first year out of the TJ) for a reason. Trust me, you don't want them on your Jeep. They never stay on tight enough and tend to come loose. Please do yourself a favor and save up the money for a set of adjustable upper control arms.

 

On top of that Jeep also made the knock out tool required to install the alignment cams different than the TJ. To top it off, you can not get the tool yet from anyone, much less the alignment bolt.

 

i will do that thanks for the info

 

I mentioned the alignment cams as a cheap, easy fix. Dodge Ram pickups, with the very same suspension as TJ's up front (only bigger) use alignment cams successfully. Superlift received a Daimler Chrysler Design Award for their JK suspension with the cams, too.

Now, what am I going to use on my own JK that I'm building in the magazine? Adjustable arms, like those offered by Full Traction. Actually, EXACTLY like those that are offered by Full Traction, since they ARE from Full Traction . . .

 

not entirely true. my 99 sport came with cam bolts front and rear. i welded them and threw in RE's adj. arms. you can also restore some wheel base with the adj. arms, so the angle on them isn't quite so severe (smoother ride). Get some adj.

for the guys with the DPA issues. did you install trac bar brackets? if you moved your track bar, you'll need a DPA. ideally you want the track bar and drag link to be parallel to eliminate bump steer. with bigger lifts, if you see your axle moving out too far to the d-side, it would be better to just get an adj. track bar.

 

Is it fair to assume your Jeep was purchased in Belgium? If so, that might be the reason why because here in the US, I have not seen cam bolts on anything other than a 97.

As far as the PDA goes, after installing a 3" lift for myself, I would recommend leaving the track bar relocation bracket off and installing a real adjustable track bar instead

 

nope, it was bought in Alexandria, VA.

 

I will be doing the upper control arms and the adj. front track bar as soon as they come in. I will let everyone know how it works out. They are supposed to be shipping out early January so I hope they get here soon.

 

Hey Rubimon, when you get em, please let me know as I would love to help you out again.

 

I am counting on it. Straight off the UPS truck into my jeep, and straight to your house. I will call first! LOL This time I get the lunch though.
