Nice build man! I love how its coming along. Im interesed in those relocation brackets. I will be watching for the install pics. I just installed the same RE lift that you have and I dont want any more lift, just more flex in the rear.

I went from stock shackle to a 1.5" to get my angle, the rear flexes and rides wonderfully. I have RC 3" full packs.

I'm not sure what it takes on the 96, I know the 97+ had it built into the ECU.

Going to order a few different ones and throw it on there depending on the run/mood/crowd. Its a very cool idea! Once I get a local group going we'll all rock the same ones!

Gave her the first bath its had since August. Tomorrow I'll be ordering the ZJ clutch fan, and wiring in my Tranny Temp Gauge. I also finished my shackle relocation brackets and set the shackles at a 55* Angle. I'll post more info about that here tomorrow.

I'll post them up when I can. I ran into a couple different issues so I'm going to do a quick and dirty write up and some observations. The ride is a lot better but I haven't been able to find anything tall enough to flex it out on yet. I'll scour the town tonight in search of a loading dock

Thanks man, I'm moving this month so pretty much putting the XJ on hold. Gonna swap in the ZJ fan clutch, my B&M trans temp gauge and probably call it quits for this month other then maybe some other little things.
