Joe @ Quadratec's XJ
This is my old XJ, sadly she isn't with me anymore. Lost her a few years ago in a rollover.
Rusty's 6.5 inch short arm
Skyjacker Hydro shocks
33 inch boggers
16" AEV silverstar wheels
ARB Bull Bar
Tomken Rear Bumper w/hitch
Milemarker 12000lb winch
D30 w/ Truetrac LSD & 4.56 up front
8.25 w/ Detroit Locker & 4.56 in the back
lots of underhood mods from bolt on's to Hesco internals

The short arms were a very rough ride until I installed the Rubicon Express drop brackets, then she rode like a Cadillac! There is just too much caster angle for short arms and a lift that high. I had 2 other cherokees after that one, but they weren't really modded too much. I currently am jeep-less but get to play with the company jeeps on occassion

Nice jeep, too bad about the rollover.
I should probably do those drop brackets, but i want long arms later on and don't want to waste $300.
How did those rustys flares hold up?

The flares were awesome, but I did break one during the lift install by hitting it with a leaf spring
I used stainless rivets to hold them on, which added a pretty cool look to it up close. And I was able to trim about 2 inches of sheet metal out of the front and only did about an inch in the rear.
