I really cant complain. Leaf packs flex awesome, to the point I kind of need to cut and bump stop for the rear first as that is where Im rubbing right now at full stuff, I think the front springs are a little stiff. The ride was down rite jarring with both sway bars still attached when I got it but I have since removed them and its much better. I hear Zone is the way to go if you want a kit, good base easy to biuld up from. If I started from scratch I would probably bastard pack the rear and use a soft RE or RC spring up front. I think if you piece a lift together you will be happier for cheaper. Check out Dukies danger cart thread, he did a great job with a piece together lift.

Love the middle picture with the Prius. Guess a Prius being great on gas & the XJ being bad on gas kinda equal out.
Jeep looks good, thinkin bout goin odorless this year or next summer. Lookin good.

Thanks man, Yeah the Prius makes up for what the Jeep lacks in fuel mileage. But the XJ does more than make up for what the Prius lacks in fun

So I have this ford 9" you see and I had a plan to put it in my 74 Plymouth Duster. But the jeep has been trumping that project for the last 2 years or so. Its 61" flange to flange so its an inch wider. I have a friend that has a 4.10 front, and this is just laying around. Hmm
