Hello , I own a 90 XJ with 85k and I'm just starting to play around with it. Any budget tips on suspention ect. Would be greatly apreciated. I also heard of a Dodge Dakota single rear leaf add on , any info?

 

when you say budget, how high are you planning on going? what size tires? what is your budget?

also, welcome to the forums

Inserting a dakota or s10 mainleaf (with eye's cut off) will give you between 2 and 3 in. Add a 2 in spacer in the front for say $60.00, will give you the room to clear 31's. You have to do the research and decide what you want. If your gonna go taller you should just save and buy a good 3in or 4.5 kit.

 

id say go for a decent 3.5 and 31s. that way you dont really need to regear and no SYE/cv driveshaft. that will save you some dough.

oh yeah. lol didnt noticed it was bleeped out

 

rough country 3 inch with a nitro shock upgrade and red shock boots. drop around 4-5 hundred and don't have to worry about anything. thats what i run. if you want 31's you will clear them. if you want 33's trim the fenders and you will most likely clear them. Don't forget to relocate the trac bar or one side will rub when at full turn.
