I know I know, Jeeps are built not bought. However, when you find a Jeep that is exactly what you've been wanting for years, sometimes you have to pounce.

I bought it from a friend, he's had it 6 months and couldn't tell me much about it. However, my XJ (blue) has almost 200k miles and is rusted to ****. This new XJ (red) barely has over 100k miles and is in great shape.

I know it has a Pro Comp ES2000 stabilizer with a 6" lift on 33s. I've taken it wheelin to the same place I take my stock XJ and it seemed to do better. So I'm hoping I don't just have a Mall Jeep sitting in my driveway.. Could you guys give me some insight into my set-up?
It seems to pull left and right when going 45mph+ is that normal with the lift?
If you look closely you can see that the rubber has been rubbed off on the steering stabilizer, i assume that's bad.
There are little rings on the front, and the passenger side one is bent, I'll have it painted on the last picture.
Can you tell anything about the rear suspension, the white stick says 3.55?










Thanks in advance

Im not sure why some of the pics shrank. They are all full size in my albums.

Well its a nice lookin jeep, if ur talkin bout the stabilizer boot its just for looks mostly helps protect it from mud dirt for longer life the thing that is bent is for your sway bar and seems as if u don't have one and the 3.55 I'm guessing would be the gearing

As for the jeep pulling to the left, upgrade to 1 ton steering.

The shock boot is to protect against dirt and stuff, but I have heard that I can trap dirt in there and ruin your stabilizer

The bent ring is indeed the sway bar mount, which as previously stated, you do not have. Be careful on the road

As for the gearing, is your jeep auto or manual? If it's auto, it will most likely have 3.55's, if it's manual, it will prolly have 3.07's. Iv never seen the gearing on the axle tube like that, iv only ever seen it on the tag on the diff cover.

My opinion sway bars are overrated I don't run em on either of mine on road or rear trac bar lol but its driver choise

TonyXJ

Yeah, its an auto.
I've looked at a few steering stabilzers/dampeners on quadratech, which would you recommend?
Anyone else think its okay to not have a sway bar?
