Man that thing looks good, although I originally thought I'd be seeing pics of the girlfriend, lol. That's about the height and tire size I want, what sizes are they? (I guess I'm too lazy to scroll back and reread everything). Coach.

Recently picked up another NV242 from a '99 XJ. Need to swap it in.
Finally got a decent paying job. I will be getting a daily driver later this week, and I'll be going to pick it up on the 23rd.
So expect many changes to my XJ soon!

Shes getting some 2.5" lift springs and a thicker coil isolator so she should be sitting around 3" up front by the end of the day. Pics soon.

Put some 2.5" lift springs, another isolator, and front JK shocks in yesterday.
Just now cut the front air dam/valance and little bit of the flares.

After putting those springs in, I still don't like how low the front is compared to the back.
Rear end is at about 20.25" from center of hub on axle to the bottom tip of the fender flare. I think thats a little over 3" of lift?
Front is at about 19.25" from the center of hub to the bottom tip of the flare. I think thats a little under 2" of lift in the front?
Can anyone confirm my calculations?
Either way, its a little higher than my sagged to death stock springs and 2" spacers. Not to mention the Jeep rides SOOOOOO much better now and doesn't have a gangster lean anymore. The springs I got didnt end up being as tall as I thought they were but they were $50 so no big deal. I think this Friday (PAYDAY!!!) I will order some 3" lift coil springs and call it done.

Ordered some Rustys 3" lift springs this past Friday. Should be here tomorrow. I took the front springs out after work a little bit ago.
Now we wait until tomorrow...
