Thanks, but will never be done lol. I started out with a new stock TJ in 3/8/01 with 7 miles and within 6 months I had the RE 4.5" lift with 33's and now rear leafs and the long arms in the front(which I said I would never do). I wish I did this all the first time!:mad:

E-brakes?? What are those?? I have the cable for my old Jeep, now I just need the yoke to attach to the arm. I might have to fab one myself. We'll see what happens.

I need an e-brake because am an auto and it goes tooo fast down the hills!

Oh, now I see. Quick question for you, how do YOU figure the overall gearing of your Jeep??

I run in to a web site that gave all that stuff. Ill see if I can find it for u. Autos are always under load when in drive sticks are not.

I think he means crawl ratio. There was a debate about. manual vs. auto crawl ratios :D

I know what he was talking about, and thats what I was talking about:rolleyes: . YOU CANN'T GET AUTOS AS LOW AS STICKS. Auto's are always under load when in drive. You can get a auto to crawl and walk with it, but sticks can still go lower. A stock auto Jeep brakes can only go with a atlas 3:8. If you go any lower your brakes will be over powered.
