well today i got all my lift kit parts together and found that my cat was gutted and it had half of a 02 sensor glued to the side of it. gotta love the PO. heres a pic of my kit. my buddy has the leaf packs for a bastard pack
havnt done much. put on the CIA from my old jeep into this one. also dielectric greased all the plug wires and used wire dry on the cap and rotor, hopefully this helps with the no starts when its wet out. Hopefully soon the lift will be installed.
so my lift kit is all pieced together.

To convert the jeep to 4x4 or to sell it and buy a new one... decisions decisions
but, on the other hand...if you can find a 4wd donor xj for cheap, then the 4wd swap becomes a reasonable option
Well the jeeps got 150k on it and its freking clean no rust. Its a 97. I bought it for 1500$ which isn't bad at all. I have a lift kit for it already. I have about 2k$ coming in march or april so I was thinking about buying another xj that was 4x4 but then I was thinking since this one is in such good condition why not just make this one 4x4 but I'm not sure I want to do the work lol.

Yeah the swap is pretty straight forward. I guess it all depends on what deals I find when I have that cash in my hands. Can I use like a 95 trans and tcase? Or does it have to be from a 97+

Alot of arch isnt what you want, if theres arch, then there is less down travel gonna be had. The flatter the springs, the better.
