Well Firestone wouldn't even do my allignment because my steering angle was so off lol. So I just ordered a rusty's 1.25 pitman arm and their steering stabilizer... tires might have to wait.

Hey man, just wanted to give you some kudos on a nice lookin jeep. Definitely don't ever sell it. I had an '87 Montero 2dr when I was 16 and I regret to this day getting rid of it... granted I like my XJ much better, but when you have something you like for your first car, you'll never stop loving it.

Keep it up, BTW run a search on here, there's quite a few write-ups on doing your own alignment.

99 v8 without a plow. Should be the same bolt pattern. To make it easy you can take cardboard to make a little template of the xj one and just match it up.
When you do it you need to get a new spacer and its good to plate the frame while your in there

Happy as hell man! Just don't really have a income to get anything for my Jeep. I wish I could find 33s. That's my main goal right now.
