I would think that would be ok and get you where you want, maybe someone else will chime in , seems like that may move you 1/16 - 1/8 of an inch but I could be wrong.

I can live with the slight vibe, and Im picky. Most people would not even feel it. Ive had the Jeep over 80 and it never gets worse. Heck it might be one of the tires. BUT, I dont want the driveline to come loose while driving down the HWY, so Ill see if a full turn makes the vibe go away. Im sitting right at 23 1/4" and alignment printout says 6.7/6.8.

Thanks to all the help from everyone. Another member on here is coming over on Tues to help with the arm adjustment. Ive met some really cool people on this forum. I even went mountain biking with a member this last summer.

I want to go help him just because of where he is. But, it is a long drive. Next time I visit my family in MN I'm going to stop say hi and keep driving.

I so want to move. I at one time had an oppertunity to go work for the National Park Service with a station somewhere near Glacier National Park. But, I was dumb and wanted to finish school and get my degrees.

the snow looks like fun out there. Last winter in Northern N.E. we had almost 10' of snow in the mountains. I saw a JK with those track things attached to the wheels headed out. I sometimes wonder if those big fat sand paw tires would work for floatation and forward momentum.

Ohh... tools... check out Harbor Freight. They have a set of combo wrenches in metric with everything from a 6mm to a 32 in it. And it comes with a pouch/roll for them. I carry one in my Jeep.

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=43900

lifetime warranty. break it / replace it. If you have a local store they do it there... otherwise you just mail it.

I also carry this in my Jeep. Between this kit and the other wrench set there is nothing that I can't take apart on the Jeep. Pretty much any other rig as well.

That socket kit is the most inclusive kit I've ever seen for under a grand. Again all lifetime warrantied. Comes in a plastic case with everything sorted out. They even thought of putting foam inbetween everything so the sockets stay where they belong no matter what you do to the case. I can't even come close to saying that about my Craftsman sets.

Be carefull on that website. It's addictive. Full 30 piece Screwdriver sets for 20. Long reach pliers for 5. And so on..... they opened a retail store 3 miles from my house... dam them.

They have a standard set too. I have those in the garage but haven't needed them yet. Which bolts are that big?
