When you say ball joints do you mean the heims.? Or the ball joints on the knuckles? Little confused on your comment.

Ball joints. But everything seems to go faster the bigger u go too.

That's a reality I am willing to accept... lol

I have a 3" lift already with adj LCA, adjusted to 16" and adj Track Bar.

I put some 31" tires on with Cragar Soft 8's and 4" of back spacing.

They rub real bad on the front. Why is thiw? Do I need to adjust my LCA back an inch?







Is this normal?

I would try moving it back and see how that works

How are all you other angles?(pinion ect.)if everything is good anglewise, driveshaftwise, deathwobblewise, and alighnmentwise. Id say trim a little and that should be fine. Id rather my front axle pushed foward an inch or two.

Skipper

Yes the thing of it is that it drives great and the alignment is straight, no pulling.

I have a Shackle Relocation Kit still to be put on and I will put spacers on the front to level it out. Maybe another inch of lift will mitigate the problem.

I am waiting for the Tailbone to get here and put them both on together to save time and trouble. It shipped Monday so I will have to wait until they are painted and ready for instillation before I put in the coil spacers and longer bump stop.

Thanks for the input guys!

Even if your sitting an inch higher your axle will still move in the same transition. So your either gonna have to bumpstop the crap out of it. Move your axle back, or trim a little. I would just trim

I'm finishing up my lift and installing the quick discos are the second to las thing to do. The rough country discos want me to beat out the factory axle bolt with a hammer. Is this true or do I need to find a huge star bit and turn it out?

im about to get a 99 xj and was wondering about lifts for a dd, i was looking at the RC 4.5'' X-series kit with some 32s. would it be practical as a dd?

99superjeep01

Yes but you'll probably have to trim cause that's pretty much what my dd is.

That's what I have for my dd

I recently piked up my first xj . Its a 1992 2 door has 3" rustys lift springs up fronT and generic 2 inch lift blocks in the rear .. The po replaced the front shocks jus b4 i got it with rancho rs5000 .. I added the 2 inch lift block in the rear and was wondering what a good shock choice would be .. Ive been lookin at the rancho rs5000"s to make the front and bak match but jus wanted some oppinions to what shock would be best for my lift .. And even if the rancho rs5000 are right to have on the front ??? Also price is an issue .. Not lookin to spend too much over 100 $ for a pair

Blocks will warp your springs. Shackles are better.
