Anyways, an update since forever ago. I haven't had much time to work on it since I have been real busy working.

I ended up buying a completely setup Dana 44 with a TNT truss, 5.13 gears, mini spool, chromoly shafts, Warn diff cover, and set up for hydro assist and then ditched mine. I also bought some 38.5" TSL SX's to replace the Military tires. It drives down the road fairly well and hopefully after I finish mounting the SX's it will drive better then with the current tires.

Here are some pics:





I will get some more pics after I swap tires.

It has a 3-link front suspension. It only uses 1 upper control arm, and it is on the passenger side.

Oh ok. I've seen the 3 link but they use the driver's side like the IRO kit

Yeah, I started with driver's side as where my upper arm was going to be, but due to exhaust it is easier to go passenger side.

Got the tires done a few days ago and took some pics today. Will have to do some more trimming eventually.

Don't really know. Just because I guess. Never had any problems with it being so high and I'm not afraid to flop it. If I run into any I will lower it some, but don't see that happening.

Nice build. It's really awesome to see a XJ that has more than the average 3" lift and 31's.

Nice job and I can't wait to get another XJ and have it sitting on full width axles, 8 to 9 inches of lift and 37's.

Sick!! I like the set up you are running. Have you had a chance to see how it works? I too would like to run a three link set up. However not to many in this area to look at or see how well it works.
