is the rough country long arm lifts ne good for an xj? also whats a good selectable locker for a 99 xj?

 

Yes RC makes a decent kit. And for selectable the best are ARB, OX Locker, and the Ected E-Locker but they're all gonna cost you your left nut.

 

X2^ nice to own but be prepared for some sacrificing. Lol.

 

Yes it works nice but ran me $1300

 

1300 is cheap. i paid almost 1100 for just my longarm conversion. rc is starting to make really nice kits. only thing i would recommend is find some way to modify the cross member so you can countersink the trans mount bolts

 

I had to modify the cross member anyways since it was designed for a auto tranny. and I have the 5 spd. I lowered the TC but I still get driveshaft vibes around 25-35 mph. I love it when I have to cut up brand new parts

 

Gotta love it. Turned out my tranny is shorter than the auto

 

ive got the 4.5 inch xseries kit with control arm drop brackets. angles are the same with better ground clearance. but the look of a long arm is so badazz that its totally worth it.

 

the Lift is great...i have had mine installed for about a month or so......well worth the $$ i went with 35's

Flex is great first time out i tore all my fender flares off.....(expected) But i am also running 35's

I am saving my pennys for a Aussie Locker for the D30.

First time out i got stuck bad and had a 150$ recovery bill
Second time out i dented my rear hatch and blew out my rear window........

I should have skipped the BS and put a locker in the front from day one.

 

The Auborn ECTED is not a locker. It's an LSD with additional force applied to the clutch packs via an electromagnet. IT DOES NOT MECHANICALLY LOCK THE AXLE SHAFTS TOGETHER.

The Eaton E-Locker is a true locker that works with the push of a button to lock the axles together.

Don't confuse the two.

 

I like my Detroit lockers They never fail me. Even when going around a sharp turn on the pavement my inside tire always barks lol

 

take turns slower and that wont happen

 

That's what I meant, I was referring to the E-Locker. Thanks for the correction Frank. It was the middle of the night and I really shouldn't have been posting.

 

No, still not correct. The Eaton E-Locker is an open diff when not engaged.

 

^sounds about right

and i believe on the Detroit lockers it's applied mechanically under pressure (acceleration)
