Got a question for the suspension experts. I just (finally) got the computer dialed in. Turns out the chip was programmed wrong out of the box. It is running great! The builders (engine and intake) each estimated the power in the 325-340 range. I'm loving it. My suspension... less so.
I've got R.E. 4.5" springs and M.O.R.E. shackles - they add about 3/4". The Jeep has 2,800 miles and 2 years on it. So, the springs have settled a bit. And, I'm sure the 35s on 15" wheels add to that race car feel.
If you've ever driven a lifted CJ with a strong V8, you probably know what I'm feeling. Under hard acceleration, the Jeep squats and twists. So, when I lift off to shift, it "unwinds" and squirms around.
I'm sure a 4-link would solve all my problems... I'm wondering if there's anything short of that that'll help keep the Jeep a bit more settled. Oh sure, I could not romp on it... but what fun would that be
Thanks!
