Default xj questions (2)

1. how would a coil spacer/ shackle combo of 1-2" affect the ride, does it vary by company or is it pretty much the same all the way around? And how many of you would reccomend doing this, is it something I can install by myself?

2. My heat is weak it blows on all settings but its not hot, could this be the blower motor resistor, or is it a leak in a hose?

1 what are you looking to do with the jeep? 2 is your coolant full? if not your heater core hoses might not have coolant in them.

I just received my 2" coil/shackle lift from Rough Country and it's real straight forward and you should be able to install it yourself. Just be sure to spray everything with PB Blaster once a day a week prior to installing the lift. If you don't, you'll probably be breaking bolts left and right. Not sure how it affects the ride, but shouldn't cause any driveline vibrations.

Every XJ seems to have crappy heat. Mine is barely warm too. Could be a clogged heater core. If you're concerned about it, you disconnect the hoses and flush it out.

1. I have a coil spacer/shackle combo on mine with rough country 9000 series shocks and I love the ride.(well compared to before intalling it). It is strait forward on how to install it.

2. When your jeep it up to temp feel your lines going into your heater core and see if one is hot.
