Yea that stinks you are a little ways from me. I remember now that you wanted a 6.5 kit on yours. I have a set of 6" coils I'm not using I would mail them to you if you want then. Just pay shipping and they are yours. Probably won't need them "skyjacker" brand.
That's awesome that you would offer me such a deal buddy. However, I already purchased my lift awhile back and it came with everything I need for the suspension. Hang onto them for trading value or sell them to get yourself more parts
Thanks bud! I'll grab some tomorrow now that I know. Its what about 2qts or so but I'll be safe with 3 right? Won't hurt to have extra for when I do the front anyhow.
I used Royal Purple for my chrysler 8.25 when i installed the factory limited slip since the clutch packs needed a friction modifier, and that's stuff is expensive! If you are open diff and/or don't have any clutch packs any cheapo stuff will work. Also, if you do a lot of water crossings it'll be cheaper to change your fluids that way.
Those two places are like 30 mins from my house. Trouble only would be trailering rig to trails so if I break down I can bring it home and not stranded. Otherwise its close. Nothing like when I grew up we could wheel basically in our back yards.
Sorry, I lost track of this. 30 minutes is not bad. It sounded like you had to go aways.
Look what came today and I had time to get them in.
Bad thing though is bolt for tracjlk bar mounting area on axle that attaches to a flange nut stripped out. So I couldn't pull jeep out or move jeep until I fix track bar mount. Its the lower part on axle. Known for issues so now I need to fix that.
So since I messed up my lower track bar bolt that mounts on axle side I have since ordered this from clayton off road. It is a larger bolt 9/16" so I also ordered the new bushing. My track bar sleeve has some play in it so they say you can drill that sleeve out to fit the bolt. I will try that first but if that does not work I will just replace it with the HD bushing they recommended I buy with the bolt kit.
I'm looking at extended brake lines as well I knew well in doubt I would need those I just didn't put any on order. What has been the success for everyone with brake lines? I know the shop near me can custom make them as needed and they are DOT certified so they are legit. Mine don't feel snug but I think when I go to flex the front it will definatly put strain on them.
They fit okay now without removing the bolt that holds them into fender. The rear on the other hand I know I had to remove brake line spliter on the axle to allow the brake line to float. That for sure needs extension.
Also, thanks to everyone who responded quickly on diff oil to use. I have yet to get any but I will tomorrow on my way home from work to do the rear diff. Front is next as well, so should I use the same on the D30?

Lastly I'm going to order some bar pin eliminators for my rear shock mounts. The shocks I have didn't come with bar pins and I have heard stories that the bar pin can break or cause bolts to slip so might as well just replace them with the eliminators. Any success with anyone using a bar pin eliminator?
I know for 97' and up that you can use parts off of the rear sway bars as bar pin eliminators. Its the part that sits right on the leaf spring. Maybe it's the same for your year cherokee? If so, you can get them dirt cheap from people that have done a lift and gotten rid of their sway bars.
I think your on to something and yea easy fix but that requires more time to search for and hunt down so I just ordered some on amazon this morning. $25 easy day and maybe more money then I could have found usiing your plan I just didn't want to go searching. I have spent way more money than that for things I didn't need so I'm okay with the decision. If they don't work out I will resort to your plan, plan B! Thanks for your help.
Come to think of it I do know of a place I could have gotten it from but it's okay.
I intend on pulling the trigger on these tomorrow anyone have thoughts on this brand? $172 shipped to my house is not bad. So by the time I return from my trip out of town later this week I will have tires waiting to mount on them. 33x12.50x15 tires should mount just fine on 15x8 wheel with a 4.5 back spacking right?
I also took notice to them being 28lbs a piece so that is 112# added to my XJ weight. This something that I should be wary about or fine?
I would think that the weight of wheels/tires/axles all basically sit on the ground, and don't really contribute to the weight of the vehicle too much. It surely doesn't make you more top heavy, might help keep you planted beter though. That's just my thoughts on it
