What size are those tires? I am leaning more towards a 3" ...If you can measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the flair I think front is 17.5" and rear is 17" stock...So that would be the best way to be sure..

Looks like a very clean rig. Just remember that the 00 & 01 xj's come with a distributorless ignition and a low pinion D30. I also remember something about the intake cracking or something like that being a problem also. Just a few pointer before you buy. I wouldn't have known all of that untill after I purchased my 99 anyways but it is still good to know.

I will tell my friends

How do you have a distributorless ignition? (not trying to be a smartass i have really never heard of this) and the manifolds i will look into that and what exactly is a low pinion and the 30 was up front correct?

Distributorless ignition is AKA direct coil fire. There is an independant coil on each plug, instead of a central one routing spark to the proper plug via the plugs wires, which the DCF setup does not have plug wires. Hope this helps.

How do i tell who makes the suspension lift would a name or logo be stamped into the rear leafs or any other standard location?

Can you tell just by looking at the undercarige of a vehicle if it have a SYE I know what i trans drop looks like thats easy but not so familiar w/ SYE and costom shafts

Different colors of kits are usually a trade mark. SYE has a shorter tailcone coming out of the transfercase.
