Your 1998 wont have the 0331 head by the way. It happens when you overheat it cracks.

 

Where did you purchase your OME kit from? I see Quadratec has 2 inch leaf packs but no 2 inch springs. THey also sell a 1.5 inch lift kit but I want 2 inches.

 

the 2" springs are listed for grand cherokee, TJ and XJ cherokees, but quadratec does sell them. Also rusty's sells a 2 inch spring.

 

sweet xj man. clean, i like it. looks like a twin of my black one, check out my build thread. i plan to replace the springs soon and up it to 4" and some 265/75s though. debating. mpg ftl.

I saw someone asked but I didn't see a response; are you running wheels spacers?

 

No spacers, the tj moans fit just fine, but the 07-12 need spacers, different bolt paterrn and slightly different wheels.

Thinking about selling the xj....... Test drove a 2013 JKU and thinking about getting rid of my baby.

 

I dont blame you. If I could afford one, I would strongly consider getting one also. What color you looking at?

 

Commando Green, that's what sold me on it...

 

I'm not sure I'll ever get over the I6 but the pentatar V6 is a good motor way better than the previous 6 they put in em'

 

Yes it is, 285 HP and up to 24 MPG with a 3.21 and manual. Drives really nice. The 2012s had some left head issues, but they've worked those out now.

This guy is a 95 Cherokee Country. Stayed in granny's garage it's whole life when she wasn't busy getting more supplies for her pies. $2700 later, it's mine, and I dubbed it "Forrest". All my jeeps have had names. After my trip home picking it up, it's obvious Forrest loves to run. I love this Jeep! Any way...

during my CL hunt, I saw a XJ with TJ rubi wheels, and I was sold. Yesterday, I found a set of five on CL and I'm going to pick them up in a couple of days when the seller gets back from a trip. Before I go pick them up, what's the largest tire size I can wrap them with while not needing a lift, but would still sit nice after putting in a 2"er here in a couple months? I'm mostly a TJ connoisseur, so fitment on XJ's is new territory. Thanks for any help everyone! Oh and if you have any factoids about this particular model, I'd appreciate it.

The rear leafs are shot. So all I really want to do is put new factory spec leafs on and then do a shackle/spacer BB for a little tire clearance.

 

So no lift now with 245's?
