Yea just one locker makes a huge traction improvement. I was quite impressed with the d30 locker.
My c8.25 is on it's way out. Thinking bout welding the spiders up for now.

Watch the front end while somebody turns the wheel back and forth. You prolly already know this. But just saying.

I'm from Bristol, but currently in FL ()

I have a few quick questions for when I come home for good to ride there.

I left at 18 (for the USAF) and don't really remember much of the DMV rules, verse (what you can get a way with )

Here in FL, you can register a race car of a monster truck. That's the good part.

In CT, I have to get my XJ registered there for the first time in about 6 months when I come home. I "heard" 4" is the highest you can lift it. Do cops REALLY enforce that? How high can you go without the fuzz busting your *****?

I also heard I have to get my out of state XJ inspected before I can register it. Will the DMV (or whoever check them for inspection) be measuring you truck to make sure it's not too tall, or do they not really give a ****?

Lifting my jeep in a week, and don't want to waste time and money going too high, and have to take it out for a inspection. I didn't know where else to ask, sorry to get kindof off topic. Can't wait to meet and wheel with you all one day!

4 inches is the law I have 8.5 in my jeep and have never had an issue and to register you have to have an emissions test done but to actual inspection

No inspection. You need emissions and a bin verification, which can be done while at emissions.
Unless you have blocks there is no real way to measure lift height, so as long as its within reason you'll be fine.
