how much total lift do you want? I would go .5" more in the back. I personally think a 1-1.5" lift shackle relocation brackets 3/4-1" + leafs to get lift height. if your worried about the back being lower the the front over compensate and do 1" higher in the back. loaded up it should sit level. If not they make 1/4" pucks to bring the front up slightly... it comes down to $$ trial and error.

once you know where the rear sits get coils for the front to make it match.

are you looking to get 7.5" of lift?

my 4.5" RE springs where 230$ new IIRC

 

anyone looking for cheap 33's? I'll give 50$ towards the wheels.

 

Im looking to sit 5 to 5.5 inches I dont want to go any higher then 6 thats way to high for me

 

wont your 4.5" coils and a 2" spacer be 6.5"

I would try and keep it 5-5.5"

for that height I would do a 4.5" bastard pack, and shackle relocation brackets putting you at 5.25-5.5" if it falls short of that get a lift shackle to compensate.

this setup should give you a good leaf pack, and a great shackle angle improving ride/flex and keeping you level. just my thoughts, there are lots of ways to do it. I love my relocation brackets.

still plan to run 33's?

 

Ya I do still plan running 33s so do a basterd pack is what im thinking
I really dont know how much im sagging personally but I will give it heck im going to start with the rear and go from there

 

sounds like fun. i'm probably going to tear my leafs out of my jeep soon. i believe they are 4.5" RE's i could sell them to you

 

So I got looking at the flat fender flares ... and thought well why not make some out of aluminum...? I got 4"x1/4" aluminum flat bar laying around my shop ....I think I will start and give it a try ..what you guys think ?

 

Which northern utah junkyards are best for XJ parts?

i mostly need a couple window switches and probably the rear hatch trim/brake light.

 

How far northern? I was at pick n pull over the weekend on 3300s 900w. There was a bunch of xj's

 

Got the go ahead on the new place today! First thing to move... the jeep!!!

 

Those are some bad *** flares do it

 

I didnt have time to get measurements today but ill start on them and maybe even have then done on saturday
