Hey so here are some pics I took of the front and rear suspension, I hope this shows everything that needs to be shown, if not I can take more pics. Thanks!

 

Your steering angles are kinda scarey

 

get rid of the tracbar drop bracket on the axle. that will help some. i would invest in some crossover steering too. it also looks like you need a longer tracbar.

 

Yep & an EXTREME drop pitman arm! That Should help with your crazy steering!!!

 

x2 on the pitman arm. and get a steering stabilizer. also the track bar would need to be replaced by an adjustable one or an very hefty drop on the driver side. a sway bar would help with the on road manners. have you taken it to an RTI ramp to see what it will do or a buddy with a fork lift to lift one side of the front to see how it will do? if you are thinking it won't flex by how it handles you would be surprised. every shock is different and every spring is different. if test out the flex you will know what you have, also disconnect the shocks to see your maximum flex.

 

Thanks for the tips, no I havent taken it to a ramp yet but soon enough and I'm definately looking into that tracbar, pitman arm, and steering!

 

if you wanna build a regulation 20 degree ramp 4ft tall 11ft long (plan on doing this weekend)

 

Death wobble is mostly caused by your caster setting. I had mine aligned properly and caster set and now it drives MUCH better. Well worth the couple hundred bucks, and my tires wear better to.

You should also check those shocks out, it looks like they have been there a while.

 

Yea, i'm fixin to get some fresh shocks too. Having trouble with the sizing for all this since im not really sure how tall the lift actually is. Any good way of determining the measurements for the trackbar, pitman arm, shocks, ect?

 

im not sure but it kinda looks like you still have stock control arms, upgrading to a long arm setup will help with flex

 

You don't need long arms to get some mad flex outta your XJ! although it helps... heres a pic of my flex test on short arms...


& heres how my linkage sits now I also need a adjustable track bar, but I'm posting this to show how much the extreme drop pitman arm helped my steering angles! So you don't get the "bump steer" it sounds like your describing...

 

got another fab project for ya then

For me or the OP?!?! lol Think I really need this now that the backbone is holding the box to the frame??? Sorry off topic (but with your steering angles not really!!!)

 

i do but thats just me. Steering boxs are powerful little things. your might not rip through the frame now but still possiblity of breaking bolts. 6ft cheater bar on a 1/4in ratchet. leverage breaks ****

 

You make a good point, cause **** happens! Plus I could use all the cheap welding practice I can get...
