Default Lowering from a lift?

I know i might need to put on a flame-suit for this one but.....

I just traded for a 97 lifted on a RE 4.5 (>500 miles) with dick cepek rims wrapped in 31in MT ATZ's. The only reason i traded was because i made out like a bandit, traded off a '90 eclipse GSX.

Anyways i already have my 92 laredo with a 4.5 lift on 33's ... who needs 2 lifted cherokee's? well, not me, according to the wife..

Has anyone gone backwards? I was thinking of doing a 2in lift, to keep the 31's.
Every 3in kit ive seen is AAL or shackles/spacers, which wont work for me.


This will strictly be a street xj, a dirt road being the worse it will ever see.
No "family" pictures yet, and yes the bushwhackers are ugly as sin.
Did i mention it has a 4.7 stroker in it...

Really have no clue what to ask, They are pretty much brand new, a few light scratches but i dont think they've ever really seen offroad use. I think they're misssing 2 screws.

If your interested shoot me a pm with a reasonable price and your zip code and well talk.

You are talking about making the '92 Laredo, As a street DD. Right? I think I would leave the '97, just like it is. (well maybe a more aggressive set of tires) Looks nice!
