Yeah I have thought about that,might have to look for some pics of bed lined rockers,

 

My rockers, front and rear bumpers, and rocker panels are all spray on bed lined.. lokks great and is easy to touch up (just spray it)...

 

Yeah I did my flares and bumpers with it,holds up real well

 

Got my 4'' Rustys coils put on and added another leaf to the rear.Turns out 4'' HD springs give you a total of 5''.Their not that stiff really compared to the spacers and stuff that I had on it before.I need to do a TC drop,or sye,but as it sits I have nearly 0 drive line vibration,is that normal for 5'' of lift?I also had to take the spare off the roof to get it in the garage and I gotta get longer shocks.Any suggestions on shocks or if anbody has some for sale let me know

 

Just read this whole thread, and I you've done some nice work! Your Jeep looks great!

 

Thanks alot man,its been all fun(for the most part)lol

 

my 97 at 5"s has no vibes either..so im just going to leave the driveline as it is now with no sye or tc drop

 

Man thats great to know!I wasnt really crazy about lifting my jeep just to lower something back down(tc)lol

 

where did you get the u-bolt conversion on the yoke?

 

check out Ender's red XJ.

 

Autozone.dont remember the part number but its on the forum somewhere.You just drill it out with a 5/16th bit

 

Ordered some Rough Country shocks to accommodate the the 5''s I have now so I needed to do something about the brake lines,so I relocated the fronts the way alot of people do be moving the brackets down and straightening the lines some.While I was in the front I decided to get rid of all the ABS brackets and stuff since I deleted the ABS when I did the d35 to 8.25 swap.I took one of the brackets(pictured in my hand)and used it in the rear to relocate the rear line lower.I had to open the notch a little bit with a grinder, I used self tappers to attach to the unibody it works great and I was able to use the c-clip from the original mounting bracket to secure it.It gave me about 4 3/4'' more slack.i think I am still going to do some yj lines on the front just to be safe

 

this looks like a really good idea i may do this tomorrow!

 

really nice xj i love red ones steel blue and the bright red are my favorite colors

 

So how much more "length" are you getting from the straightened brake lines? This is something I need to do, but I keep debating with myself if I should go this route or new longer lines.
