My current set up is 5.5" coils up front and 3.5" leafs, boomerang shackle, zero lift relocations and an 8.8 out back. Leveled out great. Just need to put the rear shocks through the flood and tie into the cage to get full use of the rear.

This is on 35s the fronts all hacked up from bushwackers still. I can get better pics if you need them once i find my keys, I moved last week and after it came off the trailer the keys went missing.

Those should work. I just want to be a tad taller then my last build, and ill have heavy front and rear bumpers to sag it back down a bit. I need to trim my fenders up before they get so bent up I cant get them straight again.

Good looking XJ, thanks man

Something makes me want to keep it low, but not hack too much fender like the silver jeep.
Just wanting to do 4.5" again..but still undecided.

Yep. The measure out to the same size as the 33inch BFG Mud terrains. They are 32X12X15 TSL Bias

Actual mount height is just under 32

I can clear 35s with the amount of trimming I have now which make them look smaller than they are. Which will happen in the next couple of months. Going 35X12.50X15 LTBs

Someone offered me 5k for it and I took it.
I had 3100 in it.
