A few misc pictures of some stuff going on. Got some used PRP seats for the front, got some ACOS pro bumpstops, getting some 37s and KMCs on it. The plan with the 37s is to bumpstop the rear to clear and then in the front let the tire rub the tube fenders on flex and set the air bumps to keep the steering and such from crashing on straight bumps

I was thinking the rear was going to be the hard part of fitting 37s in realizing the front may also present a problem or a few

Highschool budget 1999 xj build-photo296.jpgHighschool budget 1999 xj build-photo252.jpgHighschool budget 1999 xj build-photo959.jpg the rear of the front wheel well clears just barely after pushing the axle forward more and can go lock to lock fully tucked. It rubs in the front of the wheel well, but it's all smooth up there and the 35s rubbed there anyways and it never hurt nobody so I'm going to send it. Has a little over 2" of up travel in the front till it hits the bumpstop then the air bumps take over. Going to use the forklift at work to figure out where the rear bumps need to be because you can't just take out leaf springs to cycle the suspension easily haha

The 37s on non balanced beadlocks drive better down the road than my 35s did because every wheel was bent in some way or another which the fancy new KMCs on the Cherokee just feel wrong since they're so nice and shiny
