    Took mine out for a bath, and to the dealer for the oil change and multi-point inspection. I wanted to get the inspection because the dealer I bought from was scum. They found right front strut is bad and leaking (I know this from installing the lift), I'll end up swapping out for the Bilstein's. What part number are those? They also found that the front diff mount is totally worn out. $240 for the mount and $800 in labor which means I'll be spending a Saturday on my back under the Jeep soon. Is this available anywhere besides the stealer? While at the stealer I was complimented on the Jeep and how they never see modified Commanders, then I asked about a 4" lift. This dealer uses Terraflex, but I was unaware Terraflex made a lift for the WK/XK platform. Also turns out Mopar does too, Part number P5155384. It's in their catalog at this link:
    http://www.mopar.com/assets/pdf/cata...ts_catalog.pdf
    Lifetime warranty and if they install, shouldn't affect the Jeep's warranty. Oh, I also bought a set of floormats from the stealer


    Sexy, isn't she?

    $240 for the front differential bushings/mount???? Did they say which one is bad or all three of them? Two of the bushings are identical and cost a little over $20 a piece from the dealer. The third bushing/front differential mount cost a little over $100. Only the top bushing on my XK was really bad and that was the $20 bushing. A lot of people have been replacing those lately. save your self the money and do it yourself. I'll warn you know having just done mine two weeks ago that its a PITA. Make sure you have all the proper tools and something to press in/out the new bushings.

    BTW that XK is SEXY! I dont know how you keep it looking mint especially if you take it off road.

    The 4" lift in the Mopar catalog is the SuperLift. It is like many other products in their catalog, they slap a Mopar sticker on it, call it theirs, and sell it for more than the manufacturer does. The Terraflex kit is just a 2" BB, basically what you already have.


    Sal did you know you can disable the Tapatalk signature "Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD" in the settings?
