as per Fouros said, no. I'm yet to find a KJ beside mine that has a vibration. I went the extra mine for piece of mind and had a double cardinal joint rear shaft made up, works like a charm.

I actually had decent vibes when USA4x4 installed my Suburban 3.5 lift (2.5 years ago)(05 CRD renegade). I kept the stock tire size too just to be sure where to place blame if I did have problems with the lift. USA4x4 dropped the transfer case 8mm and this resolved the problem. 35K since and no problems, all feels pretty good although I'm now, like most of you, looking a putting on some serious rubber! (I came from a TJ with 33's so I'm missing that tough look). Great reading about you guys with all the mod's, should make the changing to larger rubber a plesent experience.

When the guys at Driveline Services were playing with mine, they said this particular driveshaft setup was tricky - can was in there for 4 days getting sorted. They said the slightest change in angle could upset the vibrations, .5 degree.........

Yeah seems that way. Dropping the Tranny wasn't to much of a problem but I've had to install skid plates to help with protection as it does sit a bit to low. Looking forward to jamming bigger tires underneath on in the next 6 months to help that downside of the KJ.

Hi Guys,
I'm new in the forum but I've had my petrol Renegade KJ since 03, I've run the Renegade stock std till now. I'm looking at raising it up with an OME 2.5" kit and thanks to the advice and opinions here I've got a good idea of what would work. Who's good in WA to fit the kit, I live in the Northern Suburbs. I've only been in WA 18mnths, from NSW.

Hey Andy,
There are a couple of places if you are chasing the OME gear. There are ARB in Osborne Park or there is the guys that I use in Wangara. They are an ARB stockist, see Brad, Jeremy or Steve either of those guys will set you straight.

Hi palla, I've contacted Northern 4WD and they did my 96K service. I've got quotes on the suspension, winch bar and a snorkel. Looks like I'll start with the snorkel and do the suspension kit after, Feb-Mar (money is always the factor). They seem like genuine guys and I've read good words from others in the forum. Thanks for passing on your advice.
Cheers Andy
