Im either too young, or too old to have caught that one haha.

Thanks dude, I like it. I am still not sure if I want to go with 4.5ish and 33s or 35s...

It's going to assume DD duty for a while so thinking the 33s would be much more mild...but they aren't near as cool as 35s lol

I'd go 35s and gear it right, rather than gear it for 33s and then feel under powered when you go 35s one day.

Picked up a stock leaf pack today to start making some wacky aal/bastard pack. Pulled them apart tonight and sanding them down, nothing special...but should be super flexy

Just decided to run a 2.5 inch add a leaf. Built the packs tonight. Gonna run the 2.5 AAL, boomerang shackles and relocaters brackets. Should be a pretty flexy rear.

I technically work for B. Lee's as I am building their website.

I ran basically the 1st ever production 3 link from B. Lee's Offroad on my last silver XJ that was nearly identical to this one lol.

I couldn't find a single complaint about it...its direct bolt on..adjustable links..break it and we replace it warranty, felt like I was floating on a cloud on the road and performed flawlessly offroad. The Heims are quiet too..no pops, etc


I have not ran the crossover steering...yet lol

In my opinion for the price of the kit you simply will not find a better deal
