3.75" BS is 1.5" over stock, which is what I run. I would not go any more than that unless you like replacing wheel bearings. As far as your flares are concerned, bumpstop correctly and you won't have any issues.

I will say though that with a 6.5" long arm, you really need to trim to get the full benefit out of it. You can keep the stock flares and just move them up.

 

I'm trying to steer away from cutting or modifying the frenders at all. what if i were to go with an 8" coil on the 6.5" la kit, that or I've been molding over the acos adjustable spacer. anyone with luck keeping their stock flares on with that size lift and tires (pics please)

 

I replaced the garbage bendix 9 abs with a regular booster and mc. Am i cool to remove all abs fuses and relays?

 

What thermostat does an 01 xj use, 180 or 195?

 

Pretty sure they all use a 195.

Im in the process of changing control arm bushings. Last night I was installing the passenger upper control arm. I got the frame side in (just the bolt in, no nut yet) but when I tried putting the axel side in (putting the bolt in)and I noticed the hole is about a 1/2in off. Question : What is the best way to rotate the axle control arm mount back about a half inch? Ratchet strap?

 

It is a 195 i just did my whole cooling system

 

Will a pre 97 overhead console fit the same as a 97+? Can I make it work?

 

Thanks guys, next weekend I get to change my change my thermostat and flush the system out

 

You can make anything work! I saw go for it, just save your old one in case you don't like it. I'll take whichever one you don't like when you're done.





My advice is all opinion. Never tried it myself.

 

Yessir, strap it back into place to line it up for the control arm. Really the only way without removing your suspension and steering

 

hey folks,

i have a stock 88 4wd, base model (no power no goodies). i recently got my hands on an 87 that i was told has the factory "up country" suspension package. i know this package comes with skid plates everywhere, sits slightly higher, and i was told has dif axles. does anyone know all the differences th up country package provides?

 

It may also have a rear d44

 

I think that was only on the Up Country Grand Cherokees with the V8. They came with the D44a (aluminum center section).
