It also heavily depends on who makes the leaf pack. RE 3.5 leafs are never 3.5 inches. Mine, after 9 months of settling, daily driving and krome abuse, is still raked. It looked like a hot rod when I first finished the lift.

Rough Country 4.5 leafs are pretty much terrible.

You might want to look at 3.5 RE leafs with some shackle relocation boxes - they add about 3/4 to an inch of lift, increase rear flex and improve ride quality.

Those will be my next major mod. That and adjustable control arms and adjustable coil spacers.

I'm doing all RE I got RE4.5 coils yesterday and I'm getting all adjustable stuff and in that case I'll do the 3.5 with the relocation brackets, I think it's going to ride great after that because I'm putting bilstein shocks on it too

Damn you. That's what I should have done first - now I'm working around what I've got to get to that point.

Want to trade XJs in a few months...

Morning guys. Thanks for the laugh this morning.

If you fix the heat soak problem i have with mine in the process I'll think about it I need hood vents ASAP but yeah I want it to ride like a caddy and wheel like a freakin beast

What have you don't to fix your heat soak problem?
Usually loose intake/exhaust bolts will do that or a cracked header

Nah it's just because mines an 01 and has precats 😒

Just got to the lkq jy and they have a 50% price change all weekend!!!!
Damn and I catch it on a Sunday smh lol

I was at ours yesterday.

This one is an 88 and has that full time 4x4 option other the 242j transfer case
I wouldn't doubt if it had the rear posi considering it's a dana 35 auto

I want that header panel. And transfer case.

I got the header panel...good thing it was half off this weekend....
And rear tail lights....
I'm in the process to grab the external bellhousing out of a 4cyl dodge Dakota...dam so hard to drop a tranny on this truck smh

Y'all's JYs are so much better then my areas the ones here suck and are super expensive

4hours lAter and got me a Dakota bellhousing out of a 4cyl for an ax15 external slave swap

Hey 88, if you could please pick me up a Comanche shifter console (like you have) if you find one and I'll give you my Cherokee one for it (yes, I have the cupholder piece and a latch that still works on it too) Comanches are very hard to find up here. Thanks.
