I'm going to, but yes, as of right now, it's lift'less. Grabber HTS 245/75's

Any rubbing with normal street driving? I only ask because I have some moabs and need tires now but can't do a lift til next year

Well, if you have shot rear leafs like me, then yeah, expect some rubbing. But where it's rubbing is on the lower edge instead of the high center of the wheel well, and it only happens at highspeed dips in the road. Front end hasn't rubbed yet, and does't at full lock either. Still, I don't plan on running it like this much longer.

Very nice & clean DD & off-roader. Nice to see a clean build and not an over-the-top job. I tried to buy my dad's '97 in the same color but he wouldn't budge so I opted for a white one.

How do you like the Yakima Megawarrior? I already have the Yakima rack system so I'm looking at that basket as opposed to the Wilderness rack.

Thanks, that's what I'm going for, clean and capable. I love this 95, couldn't have lucked out better.

It's actually a Rola rack. A guy who does his own custom bumpers sold it to me new out of the box. They're an Australian company and it's a legit rack. Hardware is solid, no cheap plastic to be found.

I can't wait to do the budget boost next. I don't just want to shackle up the same shot leafs I have now, so I'm going to try some OME mediums and coil spacers first. Then if I have too, shackle the rear to adjust level. I like RE's kit, but don't want to keep the current leafs, so one thing at a time. 1"-1 1/2" is all I'm looking for.

Can you tell me the specs of your T-Case drop you made? I work in a factory that produces metal products and cam easly fabricate one up...im putting a 3in lift on my cherokee. Also, how well did you like the Rampage H4 conversion headlights?

What color is this XJ? It definitely doesn't look like Steel Metallic or Steel Pearcoat. Is that a Wrangler Color? Gunmetal Pearlcoat?

Forgive the comment resurrection on such an old post.

But I've been thinking about buying the Monroe 550017's for awhile, to go with the new UpCountry leaf packs I'm installing next week (that were just delivered yesterday).

How do you like these? The spec's for 'em indicate the rear travel is only 2-3/8's inches (which: that don't seem right to me ...most XJ shocks are in the 7-8 inch range). Can you confirm that? Has that limited travel ever been a - or caused any - problem for you? How about any off-road issues? On-road comfort issues?

Thanks!

I had 31s with no lift for the longest time.

I have been looking At the same basket. Do you have the basket extender added to it as well?

This was a good thread until it was hijacked and the OP took off. lol

I just sent Burgy a PM, but figured I would post here also:

I've been reading the thread and can't seem to match every item up to what I find at various sites.

I found the Monroe Magnum shocks (550016 - front and 550017 - rears).

From there, I'm having trouble finding the exact front and rear springs. For the fronts, I found these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARB-2930-Old...okee-XJ-Wagon-), but not sure if they are correct.

For the rear leafs, I can't find any OME that are listed for the XJ. I'm also planning to purchase a transfer case drop kit to get rid of the vibration I'm expecting. I was going to go with this (http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-...kit-xj-mj.html). I don't need the 2" coil spacers with this set up right?

Any help finding the exact front and rear springs would be very helpful.

Also, is there anything else that I'm missing or should consider purchasing (outside of the moab wheels and duratrac tires)?

Big thanks in advance - I'm really looking forward to this set up on my 2000 Cherokee.

Go to my build, I have part numbers. At least for rear springs.

If they made a cherokee rubicon this would be it looks awsome!

Agreed. This is the jeep mine wants to be when it grows up. Just awesome.

To bad the OP got highjacked......I wanted to see/hear about his OME front coil install.
