LCA angles are definitely sloping upward. We didn't change the LCA mounts location.

We basically lowered it down to let it sit on the bump stops and then we cut the bump stops so it had 1" of up travel. Everything clears barely, nothing hits. We did have Ironman 4x4 make a straight track bar and we have a 2WD.

Photobucket SUCKS!!! Lost all the photos on this thread.

Photobucket wants $399/year to now allow for 3rd party posting.

Where is the Class Action Lawsuit?

I really like the lowered look. Do you have a short list of what is needed to accomplish it. Hopefully all bolt-ons, and no major mods.

Just read this whole thing start to finish. Amazing job! I have a ‘99 2WD XJ as well and I’m thinking of doing the same thing, but more of a budget build. Sub’d and can’t wait to see new news!
