K thanks ill check it out

 

Got the rear lifted..back shock bolts broke Brett welded them on but xj was to rusty and the welds didn't hold and fell..going to try rebolting them in the morning. Now debating on doing the front myself but can't get stranded since its my DD

 

the front is easier than the back!

 

That's what I have heard going to get it done to with my cousins help!

 

Why size lift did you end up going with?

 

3" RC

 

I think I've stated that to him around maybe 500 times yesterday lol. I got my front end done in the snow with minimal tools, one jack and by myself , it was the back that screwed me up. But I got that figured out now too

 

So today i went to put a richmond powertrax locker in my 8.25" 29 spline rear, and pieces do not fit. Spline count is good but i dont know what is going on haha

 

Well its done! Didn't get to the rear shocks lost daylight... going to have to do it soon and fix are leaf mistake

 

Well today started out bad, my tow rig managed to rub the rear brake hose on the exhaust and melt it 10minutes before arrival, pair of vice grips fixed that for a while, called about 10 parts stores, no one had one, had to drive with no rear brakes to Lebanon for the hose after rausch, changed it in there parking lot and headed home... then after unloading the Jeep at the shop, driving home my rear u joint decided to throw a cap, because I smashed it on a few rocks by the looks of it... BUT at rausch, it did fantastic, I couldn't be happier with the 3link, the 4.88s are awesome, and the lockers kick ***... only have a few poser pics on my phone but I will post them up for fun.

 

I have the highest tire mark

Sitting on my buddies fender, could have been on the hood but started slipping before I could try... he is 36" tires with 6or so inch lift

 

What is not fitting?

 

When id put the outer piece on, the axle shaft would not stick through enough to put the c-clip on, i then put both outer pieces in and there was basically no gap in between to fit 4 more components in let alone a big enough gap just to put the pin through, so i compared them to my spider gears and the outer 2 pieces are much longer then the spider gears, so i put all my spider gears back in since i will need my xj to get to work on monday..... Nothing like taking spider gears out and putting them back in.....

 

Is that locker for your size carrier? Numerically, ie: for 3.55gears

 

It should be, i know i dont have 3.07s cause i dont have a manual, maybe i have 3.73, but how would i know, i have 32s on it right now and at 70mph on the highway its runs slightly above 2000rpms.... The box says nothing on it, doesnt even tell me if its for the 8.25" on it but the spline count was good it fit on the axle
