Hey joe whats up. Good luck on the xj hunt. Theres plenty out there.

 

thanks man, ive been looking but i havent found many 97-01's. Either they have a million miles on them or they want wayyyy to much for them lol

still got another month or so till im ready to buy so hopefully the right one pops up

 

Just gota be patient. I got mine for 2200 its a 93 and had 169000 when i got 195000 now and still running like a beast

 

What kind of parts u use for ur lift?

 

The first lift was, 1.75 spacers, Craiglist 2" coils, rustys lowers, used Chevy 1500 brake lines. IRO double shear track bar, used v8 ZJ tie rod, home made bar pin eliminators with cheapo white tube shocks. Out back was a free set of RE 3in AAL, Chevy lowering shackles, used Dakota brake line, and 4 to 6" lift cheapo white tube shocks. Front bump stops are daystar extended with 2 hockey pucks and rear is daystar front bumps bolted to a plate and meet my truss on the axle

Since then iv picked up RE 3.5 leafs, SYE, V8 ZJ front shaft, ford 8.8 in place of the 35, and Low profile shackle relocation boxes in the mail.

next is 1ton steering and bilstein 5100s

 

ya for sure! sometimes being patient sucks though lol

and its nice to hear i can build a lift from scratch and save some money!

 

Any of you guys want a 2wd AX-15?

 

Sweetness. I found a thread on here that lists a bunch of parts you can get from other cars. I seen u can use coils from a thunderbird that will give u lift lol might be spending a few weekends at the junkyard.

 

Yup just stay below 3 inches if you want it to be cheap. Once you get to 4 you start having to buy stuff like control arms, track bars, steering, and sye. That's the stuff you need to buy quality parts cuz it's under alot of stress. Iv seen thousands of dollars worth of parts destroyed because of a broken track bar or steering component

 

I'm bored as **** at work, what's everyone else up too?

I'm looking at either the RE 3.5" lift or the RC 4.5" idk which one to get yet.

 

I am going with the RC 4.5, i already have a set if 32's on wheels so i may as well have the lift needed to flex with them. Speaking of, my lazy *** needs trim my fenders to clear said 32's with my current 2' bb untill i can buy said 4.5" lift.

 

Oh, who here can weld? I ask because i want to make a bumper for the front that has recovery points built into it. I need ideas and a welder, i can get the steel, food and drinks and any compansation (money) needed. Oh and some sliders.... Lol

 

I can weld but I haven't done stick in a few years so I'm a lil rusty with that. TIG and mig I'm good to go i dont gave a welder at the moment tho ao there is my limit haha. And if your looking for sliders I'm ready to sell mine make me an offer if you are interested. Any money made off the slides goes towards my new welder haha

 

Haha I need to get my XJ!! Puck are you going to be getting rid of the Moabs?

Tax returns need to hurry up!!

 

Your really gonna need to trim if you wanna use the jeep offhighway in between the tire and lift purchase. I ran 31" BFG MTs on a 2" lift. It worked on road, but the second you needed to turn hard, hit a pothole, flex suspension a little, it would rub. A lot. Lol

If I could do it over again, I would have done it all at once.

Talk to "Njbozic" about local fabrication.



Indeed!!!
