I ended up buying a RE 4.5" leaf pack to level things out.


Also just bought these shiny guys. Plan is to run 285/75-17's which is about a 34 x 12" tire.

 

This weekend I spent a couple hours cutting off the rear shock mounts and installing relocation brackets. Gained about 3" of clearance. Now I need to work on proper bump-stops for the rear.

Out with the old . . .



In with the new . . .

 

Built a set of rear bumpstops with junk I had laying around the garage. Just need to weld them to the spring plates and they're done.

 

Welded them in this morning.

 

Looks good bud,clean and simple.

 

I bought a stock 98' xj and have been adding goodies since. This is one of the most inspirational threads I've ever seen. Beautiful work, great choice in parts, and exceptional pictures.

 

Thanks all.

 

Which T-case do you have? Im guessing an np231...
I ask because I have the same T&T LA kit, but my t-case skid hangs down about an inch below the crossmember. hmmm... did I mount mine wrong? or I wonder if I got sent an NP242 t-case skid?

 

Yes, it's a 231 and the T-Case skid is level with the crossmember on mine.

 

That's what I thought... I emailed T&T and sent them a few pics of mine. Apparently I got sent an NP242 skid by mistake

 

I finally couldn't stand the new wheels sitting in boxes in the garage anymore. I picked up a set of 4 used 315/70-17 BFG AT's for $80. Really wanted KM2's or MTR's, but these will do for now. Should get me by until I can afford to buy new.

 

Holy ****!! CHEROKEE OF THE MONTH

 

Those wheels look awesome man

 

Gorgeous Cherokee well done sir.

 

Thanks.
