So i just bought my first xj. its a 95 all stock w 4.0 at. i am picking up a lift tomorrow 12-27 for it and was wondering what else i should add (drop control arm brackets) and so forth. lift is 4.5 with full springs in rear, would like to use as a dd and prob run 31-33's around there. i was also looking for a little help with the lift i have the tools and a garage so anybody looking to help i can pay in cold beer. im in the puyallup/fredrickson area. thanks

 

should i get shorter bump stops front and rear and what sizes? should i do sye now and will i need my driveline done what else should i do for sure and what could wait a little while.

couple of pics and the lift i bought its used but in good shape could really use some help fellow xjers. has a little ding in the back but it is really clean very suprised how nice the interior and everything else is.

 

i took off the tow package and bumper before i took pics was a little anxious. like i said i have cold beer for lift install helpers apply in person.

 

Look up bpe

 

If you got the tools, and can plan it for a weekend, I will give you a hand. You will need to get a aftermarket adjustable track bar for start, And transfer case drop. 2 - 3 people, the job will take 6 hours. The hardest part of the job will be the control arms. You will have to drop the lowers to do the job and they can be difficult to line up again. Send me a message with a number and I will text ya asap.

 

ok so most of the lift i got done already i ordered tcase drop kit, brake line relocate brackets, lca drop brackets, still need adj track bar and sye, but if i do a sye do i need new driveline? i will post some picks tomorrow did it all by myself in about 8 hrs no spring compressor pain in the a$$

 

Yes, you'll need a CV driveshaft. The sye eliminates the slip yoke and makes it bolt on. Two ways to get a driveshaft for 4.5 inches, a front driveshaft from a 00-01 xj or a front driveshaft from a 93-98 automatic V8. Or spend the $200-300 for a custom built

 

Im 5.5 and didn't do **** to mine...you guys love making pple waste money....you don't need that dude unless you go really realy high and 4 link the back lol

 

33's, not 31's. and extended bump stops not shorter.

Or cut fenders, add puck and shackle, do 35's. my 31's are no where near what I need to be "comfortable" wheeling with.

 

tell yourself that when your rear driveline or u-joint breaks on the trail, you'll be wishing you had an sye .

 

thats for the info keep it coming got most everything done need a track bar and bracket for it and still waiting on a few things in the mail but i did put my new rims and tires on to see how it looks. what do you think they are 305/65/17
