Quote: that is one sexy xj minus the front end damage
I fixed that. Those pictures are from last month

Quote:
have you adjusted caster yet?
Yeah its perfect at ride height

Quote: Id suggest leave the height till everything settles...

And maybe till you put some different meats on? I had some serious clearance issues with small tires, a little extra height doesnt hurt. Once you get some 33s on, then drop her down a bit.

My 2 cents
Yeah I am going to wait a bit. Also if I build front and rear bumpers, and mini boatsides and crap its really gunna weigh her down

Hey guys sorry it has been so dead in here lately! College was whooping my *** up until a few weeks ago. Here's an update

Took here to rausch this past weekend. 10 minutes in felt a binding in the front axle...so i parked it. AAA got me home and I ripped it all apart. Wasnt the ring and pinion; diff looked golden. Took out the front shaft....nothing. It was all drivers side. Took it all apart and cleaned it. Put it back together and bled my brakes and BAM it was gone. Guessing it was brake related...whatever its gone.

Well I was having alot of problems with my RC lift. Leaves were way too short and my JJ's were clunking like a MFer. Talked to RC and they were EXTREMELY helpful. Sent me out some shackle relocation boxes and new joints.

Got the boxes on tonight and holy hell this thing drives like a damned cadillac now. You can imagine by looking at the picture how bad the angle was before. Couldn't be happier right now

So are you running spacers or anything? I remember reading that when you installed the kit the rear sat way higher, but not sure what you changed/added.

Can you give me a run down of your lift? Like coil/spacer & leaf info...I know the base is a RC LA kit.

Right now I am running the 4.5" Coil Springs with a .5" Spacer (coil spring isolater I added from the JY) in the front. The rear is the 4.5" pack with a 1.5" shackle and the shackle boxes. It is still a bit high in the back but it doesnt look bad. I am probably going to take a leaf out of my pack though to level it. I wanna bring it down to 4-4.5 inches. It's too tall
