Default Best Riding XJ

Hey guys,

So about 2 years ago I completely rebuilt my XJ... I tried not to cut costs at all so it would have a good ride to and from the trails... I haven't used it much at all and when I do I find the ride is pretty crappy.

This is what I bought:
RE 5.5 SA, SYE, CV Driveshaft, 33" procomps on 15"

I know that i should have got long arms for the better ride but perhaps some better shocks would help? The rear leafs are also very stiff... maybe i should get one taken out?

Thanks,
Mike

How's the shackle angle? Which shocks are on there now? And yeah long arm will help a lot...

You may want to try the Modified Tech section.

Make sure your shackle angle is good. Also Crappy shocks = crappy ride. Take some air out of the tires if the middles are wearing fast as well.
