It was entirely impractical, even as a LCOG. I couldn't steer until I put the 3" lift on, but that's when everyone said you couldn't do 3" and 33s. Now it's common.
I'm not disagreeing with your post. Just saying popular opinions change pretty quickly once an 'out there' mod becomes popular. Just takes one person to figure it out.

I intend on running 35" with a 3.5" lift, front is easy since you can trim for days, the back however will require a bit more effort to get it to function without rubbing.

Ok you Rock Crawlers, take those rigs just pictured, and run them down a rutted beach at 40mph, then hit jumps every 100'. What's going to happen? lol
The main reason I lifted only, is that jeep was so clean when I got it that I did not want to cut it up. And I did not know about flat flares at the time, I think they were not out yet. Add a fair amount of ignorance to the equation (my first build) and that's my XJ.

Replaced all four valve stem cores. They began to stick from airing down so much. Mechanic friend says the devise I use is what wears them out.
