That's what the post is about, to see if there's a better fix for the problems one being the leafs

 

Honestly even if the leaves were longer, I'd get relocation boxes anyway. Flex is much much better.

 

That's true but doesn't make their leaves correct. They should give proper shackle angle upon installation... or at least after a little break in.

 

I'm 100% with you but here's my problem, I have a 4.5 lift kit and I net 6 rear and 5 front, that's measuring from the axle to the "frame" rail... So to add more to the rear would make it worse in my case... And I refuse to pull leafs! Just saying

Edit I should also say I've had them on for about a year with ALL of my trail gear in the back, For the last 3 mo...

 

Leaf sliders for our xjs! Solves the problem and better ride win win, kinda pricey but if massed production can make a relocation box ~$100 why not a sliders?

 

I have a 3" Lift from you guys and got 31" tires. My steering is totally shot and I have 3 inches of play in my steering wheel. Also the sway bar brackets keep hitting my springs. Can all this be solved with an Adjustable Trac bar and steering stabilizers?

 

How about we talk about RC product feedback rather than solution on buying additional parts or modification to fix RC products issue.

Don't mean to sound like a jerk but it will be easier for Jason to keep track.

 

The RC 3in kit is great. We are talking about the leafs from the 4.5 mainly. I had two xj's running the 3in kit. I sold one of the xj's but had it for two years with no issues. I just took off and sold the other 3in kit after 4 years of wheelin it hard. Only thing wrong with it was one of the bushings was starting to show wear. Go ahead on the 3in kit they are great.

My jeeps when they were at there prime.

Do you have stock sway bar links still attached? The adjustable track bar will only center your axle in the middle of the jeep. If you having a problem with that i would suggest XJ strykers write up on moving the track bar. As for steering play... the stabilizer wont do anything to help tighten it up. Check all your bushings and TRE's for play an replace them. All my steering play is in the steering box and a popular upgrade for that is getting on from a 99 durango...
Dukie has a write up for that. On topic, i think RC has really stepped it up lately and im pretty happy with my lift. I wish i had a better shackle angle and that they werent saggy but hey theyre AAL and it'll buff out

 

I have RC's stainless brake lines, and used to have a set of their nitro socks. Both products fit great and I had zero issues with them. I had the white body nitro shocks and I thought they rode and performed great for a budget shock. They were on for ~4 years and were fully operational and in good condition when i took them off when i lifted. I'd buy again.

and x2 on the customer service. Great communication and service

 

I know on my cj you could tighten the gears in the steering, but I'm not sure if you can do that on the xj. The cj has like a screw gear inside you could tighten it. turn the wheels to on side tightening the bolt on the top of the steering box, then turn the wheels the other way and do the same. Anyone know if this works on the xj? It would just be a temp fix for you though.

 

Same, yep there's a wrtite up on here

 

I bought the better of the two 3 inch lifts with control arms and all and upgraded to the nitro shocks before they came out with these new 2.0s and after i orders their track bar with the lift the coils are soft and really saggy the aal was ok except my springs had so much sag in them already the shocks havnt been to good to me i have gone through about 5 or 6 rears and 3 or 4 fronts the control arm bushings are horrible with the vulcanized rubber they just fell apart on me ive barely put 10,000 miles on my jeep since ive had it and it seems the sleeve on the bushing on the axle side its metric size for a standard bolt so i have to continuously tighten the **** out of it just to keep the front end from shifting but their customer service is amazing but i was told shocks were lifetime warranty until i called and they said it was only 3 year great price though too and fast shipping

 

i currently run your 3" lift absolutely love it and RC sponsers my jeep club so love it even better =) only problem i have is i use to have 30's and needed a stabilizer since mine was shot and was having death wobble =( bought your single one worked amazing. then i went to 33's and needed your dual now from what i know and was told it would help out a lot and so far no help =( any reason ?? if u can email me would be great Gbedore1@aol.com

 

stabilizers aren't the cure for death wobble. fix your worn out steering / track bar bushings, don't blame it on a product that you're not using as it was intended
