Got a question about my 00 sport. There is a slight rumble/vibration when i let off the gas completely. just enough for me to notice it. sounds like its coming from the middle of the car. when i accelerate or keep speed i dont hear anything. only when i take my foot off the gas and only for a second. Any thoughts? Thanks!

We can use these 2.5" wide Chevy lowering shackles to lift. The one-star review is from a guy who tried to force them onto his 3" wide Dodge springs. If you can't make them work, just return them.

My issue is i have extended shackled and i hate them and they screw leaf springs up as written all know. Just need slightly longer than xj stock to clear the brackets but maybe ill get those and use sonera coupons too. I really only need slightly.5-.75" lift

If you make it down here next month, you can pick mine up. They aren't pretty, but they work. Bring me a beer, and we'll call it even.

Well i open this question for everyone cause my brain now hurts from searching many many pages.

Which year Dakota or similar, minus the mj, shackles can i use to give me less than an 1" of lift but also clear the RC relocator brackets.

Wanna get this cleared away so i can measure for rear shocks.

If i can't come across anything ill use your mj ones clown. Just want to bang this **** out and i stall another xj main to finally get a solid rear end ride but not get too much extra lift

How much would a hood cost at a JY? Also would a quart of paint be enough to paint the hood and header panel of a 1998 XJ?
