How do you plan on moving the axle fwd. I too have thought of doing so ,but no ideas come to mind as how. Love the 4.5 36"s combo. What gearing you running?

littleleonard0909 · 11-19-2009, 05:02 PM

Im running stock 3.55 gears right now wanting to do 4.88. When I put my long arms on im just going to adj it up a little it well give me about 1in or more

Ridiculous amounts of rubbing.

littleleonard0909 · 11-22-2009, 06:57 PM

littleleonard0909 · 11-23-2009, 02:48 PM

I got my crossmember made for my long arms truned out ok, don't look at the siders that was done before I got it, I know it dont look good at all. Now I need to work on the uinbody, and cut the finders and ill get some pic of that to.

Zackqb2 · 11-23-2009, 02:51 PM

Looks Good

MaddXJ85 · 11-23-2009, 03:22 PM

Great lookin build man!! Cant wait to see more...

littleleonard0909 · 11-26-2009, 12:05 PM

I started cutting my LCR bracket off, I though it was going to be easy but I though wrong. Here is a pic of how my front axles is sitting I hope its going to work, I think ill need to cut some of the inner finder a little.

MaddXJ85 · 11-26-2009, 10:16 PM

Looks good with those long arms on there. Did you build the arms yourself or just the crossmember?

rweaver138 · 11-26-2009, 10:58 PM

nothing like buying a cheap xj then fixin her up.. good work. and how do the 36's fit with the 4.5" lift?

littleleonard0909 · 11-27-2009, 08:31 AM

It started with a 4.5 kit then I put 1.5 shackles in the back and some spacers in the front so its like 6.5 now and it dont rub as much as you would think.

I made the crossmember and bought the arms used, the ends are stuck some I can not adj them, dont know what im going to do, I guss im going to just cut them off and buy new ones. People make fun of RC all the time but I think there arms are ten time better than RE, the RC have grease fitting everwhere so this dont happen.
