Start spraying all your bolts right away. It will be easier to unscrew them.

Jeep looks great. I just started fixing mine up the past couple weeks.

Good luck on the install. Im suppose to do mine next week also.

Lifts done, got a couple odds and ends to tie up, some vacuum lines down the front basicly on the axle, funny plug, the brake bracket from rustys, and the vent on the rear axle... any ideas for the vent or vacuum lines?

the end result...

Looks good! I was just reading on the vacuum lines myself. I have them on my '88. They basically control the axle disconnect to make it part time 4x4. I am looking to get rid of it. It seems that you can get a new pass side axle shaft from a '92 or newer Xj and install it for a permanent 4WD when your transfer case is in 4WD. You just need to cap off the vacuum lines and the little box that they connect to on the axle. The other option is to do a manual (cable) style disconnect. You can purchase these for $200 or some guys have made their own.

Do some research on all this first. I am just learning about it and do not want to steer you in the wrong direction. I will probably end up trying to replace the passenger side axle shaft.

How much lift?

mhood121

3" of lift, although i know it gained more than that, pretty sure im gonna do the spacers and shackles also, all i need is new wheels and tires and ill be good in that dept. Im reading more about those vacuum lines trying to figure out what to do,

mhood121

what does everyone think?? I really like the wheels, just wondering about the backspacing and the tires, if they are good or bad, thanks

I see a lot of jeeps with those rims.

If I didn't already have my rims I would get those.
