With all the talk about frame stiffeners, I wonder why somebody doesn't just weld up a complete ladder sub-frame out of 3" square tubing ???

TECHNICALLY because the unibody and frame are one in an XJ, you can say a suspension left is technically a body lift because it lifts the body higher off the ground.

But yeah I get the reasoning behind the joke and why it's so funny.

I just got replacement RC leaf springs today because my front bushing started sliding out of the leaf spring eye. It has been causing all kinds of noises and popping problems. Hopefully this helps solve the problem for a while while I figure out what I'm gonna do for future lift plans.

It looks like it could fall over on it's side if someone pushed it.
