Nice photos.

The more you know about your rig, the better!

With the link I'm adding, you can request the actual build sheet on your XJ from Chrysler. I got mine back in e-mail, 12 hours after requesting it, for free.

In the space where it asks why I am contacting them, I simply put "Requesting Build Sheet"/

I'm curious how you like the KM2's. Our XJ's are the same year and the lifts are similar in height.

I picked up 5 new ones today, on new pro-comp wheels. Wanted to use my alloys, but the backspacing is wrong.

i really like them, great on the road. not to noisy. a little slick in the rain, but hold up fine. and grip awesome in the mud ive had them through, and im actually looking for some new rims right now. need a wider stance, im really scared im gonna flip it.

Our jeeps are very similar. Aproximately 5.5 inches of lift, 33x10.5 bfg tires, stock rims, etc. If you're looking to save a little money, instead of buying new rims, you could go with some wheel spacers. I'm currently using 1.5 inch wheel spacers on my jeep and they widen the stance pretty decent. Not real great, but when you're on a budget they work... Plus some people just like the look of stock rims. Idk, its your jeep, I'm eventually going to buy some after market rims, but the spacers will due until then.

I'm hoping they're better than the long trails I have run on it for the last 6 or 7 years. They were pretty slick in the rain. Hard to leave a stop sign or traffic light without spinning, had to feather the fuel in lightly.

It's my backup DD so probably gonna keep it low-key. Plus I've got some health issues to deal with before I can do anything. I just got it last week, hoping all this medical stuff will financially allow me to keep it. At least it's paid for, LOL.
[/thread jack], sorry

Maybe just some 37s and a 5" lift.... Pretty low-key lol.
And I understand, I just had to withdrawal from school and am doin homeschool now because of medical issues and some heart problems. It def isn't fun.

Got the Battery recharged an it's good to go. Then decided I wanted to put the rack back on... I think it looks pretty good. would look alot better with crager soft 8s and lights on the top, but i dont really feel like going through all the trouble of wiring up all the lights.

(lol notice all the mud in the street from washing it earlier )

Maybe it's just a bad gasket?
