Those tires are 90 lbs just in rubber so keep it easy with the throttle

Shims make a world of difference. Nice wheel tire combo, but why 15x10s?

if i remember correctly my bastard pack is:
XJ main
s-10 main
XJ second
s-10 second
XJ third

I dont have the rear shocks on right now, and its a pretty big shackle in the rear, ill install all my new RC parts and ill let you know how it rides

and yes, i removed the T-case
Youre gonna need a nice strong set of c-clip pliers and patience once you get in there, i couldnt imagine doing it up on the truck

Got a lot of work done today.
Leaf spring clamps on, shackle relocation kit installed. Rear shocks and bar pin eliminators installed. Front bar pin eliminators installed. I still have front and rear braided brake lines to install.
Here's a pic of the shackle relocation.
It's a nice kit. I highly recommend.

it fixes your shackle angle
after lifting, my shackle was at a 90*
with the relocation im back to a 45* angle
It gives a much better ride and adds to flex offroad

Trimmed my fenders a bit. Now I can fully turn.
Gonna have to trim more I think to accommodate flexing.

Sweet! I'm liking it.

You basically stole it for $700.
