yea you do, but 10" is more than enough if the compressed length is long enough

And this is my short arms pretty much maxed out (hitting the coil perch). Shocks still had some length left in them. Your don't need more droop than that for anything.

 

So..7-8 inch travel is ok for the rear? And then you think 16 collapsed, and 10 inch travel would get it done up front?

If so im good to go.

 

I hate how good your TJ flares look. Pisses me off.

 

Are those tj flares? The front dont have the turn signal lens. They do look good though.

 

plenty. Your leaf springs will never flex that much lol
For the front i think that will be plenty

 

TJ rears flares on the front and back. The backs were a PITA to get right

 

Nicely done. Do they just bolt on? I want to put my stock flares back on but dont want to mess with the brackets. If I have to Il just drill out the broken studs and weld in new ones.

 

I've thought about copying yours, but i doubt i'd ever be able to get them to look as good as yours do.

 

they're far from "bolt on" - lots of trimming and fitting involved. I used 3/16"x1" bolts and nuts every 8" or so

 

Thank you. Im thinking about doing the fender cut and fold, if I ever needed to put flares on down the road Id consider this.

 

Got any pics of your intake setup or a write up? Im on the app so cant veiw your profile pics.

 

X2

Also for the front inner fender pinch weld seam, did you just hammer it over or did you cut slits in it first?

 

theres a write up for it in the write up section.

 

Can I use a pre 2000 block in my 2001 xj if i swap sensors and use my head?
