Nope, no need to. My last XJ ran 33's with the rear only folded at the back bottom, fronts were trimmed. I've become attached to these flares lol.

 

Yea yea yea :cough: coward :cough:. Nah just screwin with ya. Took me some nerve to cut front and rear but I'm happy I did. I may cut and fold rear quarters eventually. Just debating if ill like the look.

 

Lmao, I cut my last two. Later realized with the rig bump stops it wasn't necessary. With age comes wisdom

 

Could you expand on that a little? Do you mean the axle was two inches to the right/left of center, so one of the front tires extended beyond the fender flare?

 

The axle sits to the driver side too much cause the stock track bar is to short and pulls the axle cause of it

 

Yes, the track bar runs from the left side of the unibody to the right side of the axle. When you lift an XJ you increase that angle and the trackbar becomes too short. With the wheels on the ground it's not as noticeable. When you lift the front end off the ground you will see the your left tire sticks out further than your right.

 

Gotcha. Thanks guys...

 

4' Firestik got here fast. Now I have to figure out a mounting setup. Also have rear brake shoes and bumpstops laying around, I should really get that stuff done.

 

Hows the springs and other hardware in those drums.

 

Picked up a new hardware kit with the shoes. They're always crap once you fight them off.

 

Lol, Who you tellin. I always have the same issue. Can't wait for disc conversion. Fighting these drums too long. About same cost to either repair these or convert

 

I have a feeling it will be less swear words doing the conversion. I got one of Big David's kits waiting for me in a box. All I need to do is get new rotors and pads I believe, but I've been thinking of replacing all the axle seals while I'm in there too. Oh, and some diff fluid...

 

I'm gonna get his kit too. I'm debating to get an armor diff cover one time but well see if I wanna spend the extra money. Rotors and pads ain't too expensive. Get em when advance or autozone has sales going on

 

I also need to get some dremel stones for dremeling out the backing plate. I've been thinking about a diff cover as well, but they are pretty expensive and the factory ones seem beefier than I originally thought.

 

check out soild diff covers fairly inexpensive and lots of good reveiws
