The rear fenders are naturally tighter then the front.. you should meaure your lift before you trick yourself into thinking there is a problem when there isnt.

Bastard packs work well, if you get them right.

Mine was made with my stock XJ leafs and some from an Isuzu rodeo.

There is a bit of trial and error, so be prepared to take it apart and put it back together a few times. It could take a bit.

Here is a link to 4.3L XJ's thread on another forum. This is what I went by, & I still have a real 3" lift.
