Sadly it is not a lot more work for newer XJ's but it is much more fab work for a Renix Cherokee. This is a daily driver right now so I just had to fix it with OEM parts for now but Junior and I snagged a sweet lift at the JY today for only $60. Now I need tires and shocks still but I can do those in time.

Not sure how high. Probably just 3". It's a rough country kit.

Anyone got a pic of what a 3" lift looks like on stick wheels? I don't have the money for tires right now and I don't want to put it on yet of it will look ridiculous.

Not sure if this will work, but if not go to my build page and on post #2 is 3" on stock wheels, compared to a stock XJ. I also have some pics of 3" with trimmed fenders on stock wheels I can put up later .

So I changed the crankshaft sensor and at first I was glad it was back to normal. Until the rpm's started dipping continuously. If I hit the gas pedal I can hear popping from the exhaust. This jeep is getting so annoying. What can it be now?

Sounds like the problem I was having. Mine was the fuel pump gone bad.
