need to upgrade the d30 now though! i hope 36's aint too much for the axles.

As long as you dont pull stunts like i do "here, hold my beer, watch this", it'll be ok and be smart about wheelin' it. But if i were you id look in to some chromo's and trussing it.

and dont lock it, I would think locking it would give it more of an opportunity to bind

j-rod

looks like a really nice XJ.

yeah..the plans are chromo's, 4.88's, an aussie, and trussing the heck out of it. I will just have to watch the skinny!

Another thing you might wanna consider, sense you're gonna truss it, is sleeve the axle tubes along with gusset the inner c's..

nice build! i didnt see how much u picked it up for? and that lift did look sketchy.....

tuffnutz70

I picked it up for $1000 (sight unseen). Yeah..it had small springs in front with coil spacers (not unheard of) but the rear was flat stck leafs, shims, and 2 2in blocks stacked on each side. Was wheeling it like that! lol
