That's what I did, but two of mine were maxed out. I don't remember if t was the fronts or the rears.

If they wont work for 4", i wont waste my money. Ill just use my 3" ones for now and get Bilstiens eventually. Dont really need to spend the money on good shocks, dont really care.

Quick question guys. 98' xj, 4.0, ax15, np231, chrysler 8.25. While on the highway between the speeds of 53mph and 58mph I get a loud vibration sound. Its like a fast, low pitched rattle that also hums. It also only does it when Im giving it gas and trying to gain speed. Once I pass 58mph or so It goes away and drives smooth as butter. If I recall it has done this since I bought it, it was stock however now has a 3in lift and 31s. It sounds like its coming from the front of the vehicle. I have changed the diff fluid front and rear, t-case, fluid, trans fluid... New u-joints in the rear driveshaft. Could it be front driveshaft u-joints, front axle u-joints, hub bearing, or my failing muffler/cat? Randomly either my muffler or catalytic converter acts up and it sounds like a glasspack. Comes and goes, I tapped them both but I dont get a clunk/rattle. Let me know what you think, thanks guys.

I skimmed the other posts between you and lowrange but haven't seen this yet: What gear are you in? 55 MPH in 5th with 31s on stock gears is going to put the engine somewhere near 1500 RPM. My 5th gear makes a bunch of noise at lower speeds and under torque, I recall reading that it's probably bearing-related.
