Does the back actually ride higher or is it just a bad picture? I think it's stock, but looks bigger because of the tires. Judging from the control arms they seem to be parallel to the ground it's not lifted.

Nice looking XJ! I want those tires on mine. Mine is stock, no lift and the back sits an inch higher than the front. I'm going to get some V8 ZJ front coils tomorrow at the junk yard and that will level it out.

Thanks for the comps. The back rides higher, every other stock XJ I see looks lower, more much more gap f/r.

Oh and does anyone know where to get those mud flaps? I dig them

And do the tires rub at all on there?

The mud flaps were on it when I bought it, they say Jeep on them so I think they're a dealer part, they definitely make difference on the salt and rock issues. As far as the rub goes I haven't noticed any yet, hope not. Can you put up new pics of your Jeep with new springs on. Thanks

From the center of the wheel to the fender flair. Front should be around 17" I believe.
