Yepper, sitting dead on at 5" in front and about 5 3/4's in the rear (new springs should settle right down to where I was hoping to have it).
Drives solid, no new noises, clanks, vibes or anything, so I'm pretty pleased with that.
Almost forgot, become best friends with a bottle of antisieze if you ever do anything to your rig, the XJ was a breeze to work on this go around!

I have a helpful suggestion for y'all. Don't EVER use cork gaskets. You don't know who will spend an entire day scraping it off, down the road.

The mischievious youngster who lives inside of me has already had that thought, I wish I had the dough to regear right now.

I know you worry about tippy Shawn (not too comfy with it myself) but 5-6" seems to be a pretty happy medium, not so tall that the COG gets crazy high.

haha, I am just teasing you! re-gearing is expensive...
