Ok so the 22 of feb was my b-day and my dad gave me this 1994 xj its bight red with black trim allthe way around. My dad also got me a lift kit. witch came off a 1998 xj. We gotit for 900 all the way around and now i hvave the following....a old warn brushgard a 6000lb winch warn eather a 4 or 3 inch liftwe cant tell. now when we swap the lift i also got a 2inch t-case drop to get ridof any vibes.

The problom maybe?
There is no aftermarket shocks it has stock 1s should i get some?
How can i tell how big the lift realy is?
We got to replace brake lines onmine do i need longer ones?

Also i have asked so many people this but i always get the idk.I was thinking of a snorkal forthe jeep cuz i do drive through deep water during fishing season what is keepingwater from going down that pipe in the rain and vapor locking my poor jeep up

if you can anwer any thaks

also will post some pics of my jeep

Only way to tell on the lift is to mount it and measure. DO NOT do more than 1" TC Drop. More than 1" will make the front drive shaft more likely to get vibes. Stock shocks are good for 2" lift MAX. If you do alot of water crossing raise the breather lines as well as the intake.

judging by your picture, you have no lift.

when you put it on you can easily tell by measuring from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the stock fender flares. stock is 17 inches for the rear, 17.5 for the front.

pretty good condition headliner, thats a plus.

just order a set of shocks from rough country for there 4.5 inch lift. if its only a 3 inch lift then you'll just have extra droop

This is my dad jeep its still got the lift on it but you get the idea of how much of a lift. We got it like this it had 33s on it but when we got it the guy didnt incude em.
(the green thing on the hood is my drink)

I am new lol so whats a droop?

keith two tone cherokee

red one stock blue one 3.5 or 4.5

LittleXJ

so you think only a 1inch drop will be good for a 3 or 4 inch lift? i just dont want to vibe or have it get pulled out going down the highway

keith two tone cherokee

i have 6 inches of lift with only 1 inch drop no vibes

LittleXJ

u think a 32 or 31 tire i wanted 32 10.5 what you think?with this lift cuz the red one is getting the blueish 1se lift

keith two tone cherokee

it ill be fine you might get just a little rub when ya flex her out just trim the fender flares a little

Cherokee

youre jumping the gun.

put the lift on before you put a t case drop on.

if its under 4 inches you most likely don't even need to drop the t case.
also, every xj is different so some things might work for one but just won't cut it for another. If you notice, after lifting it, that the angle of the driveshaft is too great, then try the t case.

long term option (best option) is a slip yoke eliminator.


if you had 33's with no trimming I'm going to say it was around 4.5 of lift. pic looks more like 3.5 to 4 though.

LittleXJ

this is the blue ones without a t case drop i thought it looked bad but then someone told me that its soposed to have a dust boot on it.Also idk about the wires i realy dont thik the guy we got it from new what he was doing

looks like you need an sye kit for the drive shaft brain fart thats a 2wd is the new one 4 wheel drive
