Few new pics. Been busy fixing **** on my jeep. Window wouldn't roll up the rear passenger side. Wheel bearing went out got it fixed. The 55w 5k HIDs I bought blew out within 15 min of installing them good thing I had a 2 year warranty on em. I have been so busy with my new welding job I haven't had the time up until this past Saturday to get my HIDs replaced. So I went down to the shop an got some 55w 6ks and love them. Just been pretty much maintaining my jeep nothing new really. Tires just got rotated and balanced. Got about ~10K on the mud grapplers. Not really much more planned for the jeep unless I end up not selling it

 

Anyone know approx how much work and what would be required to bump my current 4.5" lift up to 6.5"? I know I would need a SYE but what else?

 

you could just do 2'' coil spacers up front if you wanted or buy new 6.5'' coils.

then add some lift shackles and a shackle relocation box for a better shackle angle

probly a good idea to long arm at that height or get drop brakets for your control arms.

definatly sye

 

Yeah I would go Long arms for sure.

 

Hey Buddy. You got any plans for that Roof rack? If not I'll be glad to buy it from you

 

I already sold it like 3 months ago

 

If you wanna part anything, hmu. I love your back bumper

 

Go to rustysoffroad.com 6.5 front springs on sale $120 had them in the front of mine loved the stance

 

I can simply put 6.5" springs on the front?

 

Yup its that simple. Just get an alignment after. Adjustable upper/lower control arms would help a lot tho

 

Okay cool ill Deff look into that thanks

 

hey, are you running and SYE/Extended Driveshaft on your XJ? if not, are you getting bad vibes from the driveline? i plan on getting the same lift and don't know if it's neccesarrt

 

No I'm not running the SYE/Ext Driveshaft and no bad vibrations or anything. You don't need all that for 4.5" of lift.

 

Its different on every jeep. Some need an SYE at 3.5" and some don't need one at all at 6.5".... don't pass around bad info.

 

True. I was gonna say something when I read that but I was too lazy.
