sure its a grindin and not like a vibration rattle? mine was doin kinda the same thing from under the shifter at about 3K and it was just the heat shield around the exhaust rattlin. nothin a wrench and a BFH didnt fix

i got ya 88. i was just tryin to explain to the original poster that you cant just luft these trucks and throw some bigass tires on em. theres a lot more to be worried about. i guess you would only be in danger of overextendin axles if you go with super low bump stops huh?

im doin the PML this weekend. go with the FRONT JGC coils in the rear(unless your lucky like me and score a set of 4" lift rubicon rear coils with pig tails cut for $30) and crank the tbar a bit. you will get about 2-3" in the rear dependin if you have 4dr and tire carrier on back. 2" is the safe bet for the front unless you replace your UCA's and put some 1/2"-1" ball joint spacers in then you could probably get 3" safely all around but you will most likely have to reindex your TBARS(easy takes 30 min). if you plan on gettin bigger tires or wheel it a lot you NEED a new CL. your steering is weak as @!*%(as is mine i have a 92 4dr SE). hoohaa makes a CL and im gettin one from him. they are $225. also you will want to get a idler arm brace about $30. i will be getin about 4" from my lift but im replacin my tbars(Sway Aways) with longer/stronger ones and reindexin them, my UCA from Rough Country, BJ spacers(Automotive Customizers, new shocks all the way around(RS 5000 are good but im probably goin with 8000 on my rig) and new CL from hoohaa and idler arm brace from AC. i will be loosin my sway bars but i wouldnt recommend it if your shock are shot like skrill said. like i said the stock steering CL sucks in the WD21. i will carry all new steering parts as trail spares when i go wheelin whick is a good idea for anyone with these pathys....unless you are SASed... after crankin the torsion bars you WILL need an alignment....also if you replace your CL after you lift it and get an alignment you WILL need another alignment......hope this helped you out.

also do not offset your rims too much esp with 13.5" wide tires. you will trash your axles. i wouldnt run anything bigger than a 12.5 but would keep it safe and do b/t 10.5" and 12". if you want big wide tires with offset rims you need a lot more than a lift or else your just gonna be breakin things every trail run

i know of someone who was tuckin 33x12.5 under a 95 pathy with the stock rims and a 4"SL but it rubbed like a SOB. he didnt recommend wheelin with them tho. after i do my 4" SL(new UCA with BJ spacers, TB, Rubicon lift coils in rear) i am going to run 33x10.5 on stock rims and should be ok after a bit of fender trimmin which is ok with me and NEW CL!!!!!! a new CL is cridical if you are goin any bigger than stock and plan on wheelin it and even so i will have pretty much an entire steering system as spares in my rig when i wheel her. hoohaa is gettin me one in a few weeks and AFTER i install that i will be upgradin my tires. till then gonna ride on the 31x10.5. and right after i get the lift, steering, tires on an alignment is necessary!!
