Well i think im going to lift my xj. heres what im looking at any ideas? http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-xj- ... f-kit.html

Beware of the add a leaf sag. U would get better flex with 2in lift shackles in place of leafs

I wouldn't personally do the add a leaf. Try and find a full spring pack.

finch i see a common thread here amongst the replies..... full pack and 2inch shackles

I wouldnt recomend 2" full spring pack personally. What u get with 2" is a sore back. With cherokee pack being so unarched it will need to be very stiff to remain the lhe hieght

And with a stock pack. You have already broke it in. It has (majority of the time) the "sag" has already happened so u get the confirt of stock shock absorbance and the hieght of the 2" shackle.
When it comes to front. Springs all the way. The compression features are in gain with new springs

But beware also ur pinion angles with not replacing the control arms. Not always the case but just take a peek at it


Again. Just my .02

Well im either gonna go the little 2 inches or im going to just say to heck with it and do 4 new bilsteins on all 4 corners and call it done. ill be happy with some 235 75 15 cooper at3's

Coopers?? Thought km2s in future?

oh come on, at least go 2 inch spacer lift and 2inch shackles , you can still run 235's ,you'll just look cooler

2 inches..... thats wa
hat she said, 2 inches or im calling it done....lol

Blah blah blah .... coming for a guy who was going to a 4bt swap. Sure is fun to read. Any witch way he's got enthusiasm. Looks good so far finch. Keep the wrenches. Turning

the km2's were for the lift if i got it lol idk what i wanna do for sure but i got the fever thats all i can say!!!

Just save up because if you go under 4", your going to want to someday, so just save and get a 4". I liked my 3" with full leaf pak. Just remember that if you go full pack at 3" you need to drop the T-case. 3" with add a leaf and you don't need to drop the T case. just my .02

Anyone ever use Spring adjusters?

waste of money

are they junky, bad expierence or what dave lol

Finch, if you value your life, dont use spring adjusters. (Not a threat from me... they're dangerous). And that's on-road. I assume you mean the crap that JC Whitney sells to "level" your vehicle. They move the stress the spring is meant to take across the whole coil and concentrate it in small areas. I can't see them lasting very long. If you want to take a ride on the wild side, fine with me, just let me know where you're driving so I can avoid the area.

ya what john said, just get a budget boost and be done with it

First thing you need to do!!! Is make up your damn mind. And stick to a plan. Once you've got a plan. Then research. And most of all. Be Safe! Sure the possibilities seems endless. But miss matching things. Never work. Imo
