There are no dumb questions on this forum...I've asked them all already I had the same problem after installing my rear JEReel...as you can see in my sig, I have the s/j lift w/ no adjustable anything either. I ended up getting some Full Traction adj rear uppers and eliminated the vibes. But there are lots of companies that make quality adj arms & trackbars. I just like the looks of the FT variants. Hope this helps!

Great mini-writeup Eddie. Sometimes the eyeball is the best way to go. greggradwohl sorry to go there, but are you now wondering if those Reel's were okay and really didn't need to be replaced?

thanks WOL - there lies the problem - i went with a kit with no adjustable 'nuthin, so no adjustable end links or control arms.

no, you shouldn't. are you sure that it's still leaking even after replacing the seal? could it just be residual gear oil that you are seeing. the only thing that would make the leak occur that i can think of is drive line vibrations and if you haven't addressed your control arms up front, it shouldn't be vibrating.
