    The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

    Do any of the 4" - 6" lift kits give you any extra suspension travel in the front over stock? or are the lift kits just for more ground clearance? wondering what kind of performance increase if any you get from these lift kits like the rough country.

    i flushed the coolant a few months ago, and did it again when i replaced the radiator and all the hoses. I will replace the water pump and clutch soon though. I am very curious if one missinng blade can cause the king of engine shake im feeling.

    Update, replaced my radiator due to a leak and in the process noticed my radiator fan blade assembly has a broken blade missing. I think this is what's causing the engine vibration at idle. Going to replace asap and report back. Hopefully i didnt mess my bearings driving it like this for so long
