Confirmation needed!
Ok so a month of research and 5 new threads later, I have decided on a setup for my next xj. It will be my daily driver but I don't travel far. just give me a thumbs up or thumbs down and if you give thumbs down tell me why.
Setup:
Lift: 5.5" iron rock offroad, jks discos
tires: 32"x11.5 cooper stt's on 15x8" cragars with 4.5 backspacing
steering: iro Double sheer adj. Trackbar, rough country stabilizer, 1/2 ton tie rod
other stuff: Tom woods driveshaft, hack n tap sye, Aussie front locker.
thats what I'm starting with. do I NEED anything else?

5.5 is awfully big for 32s. i would personally go with a 4.5 if you want 32'' tires.
also, 4'' backspacing will give it a wider/meaner stance.

32's are actually a size too large for maine state laws. also more backspacing and I'd have to get flares which I'll do eventually but not now. Also, I like the 5.5 because I can get my 34x9.5 LTB's under it on the weekends. I was really thinking about 4.5 but that's what made my descision.

Yea it should look better with stock flares too until I get bushwackers and 3.75 backspacing. the way I see it, this is step one(first bank drainer)
When I get the bank filled back up to a safe level, I'll move on too step two whatever that brings me too it's the fun part about having an xj.

lol yea too a degree. I got two friends with xj's. Ones got a 2" bb, trimmed fenders and 31's. that thing rubs when you slow down too fast lol. My other friend Brett has a 4.5" rc with 30x9.5's both cases are overkill(or underkill) but yea the kit says 33x12.5 recommended. 32x11.5's are only 1 size smaller but will help mpg, flex, handling, suspension wear, as well as keep the fuzz off my tail

well since you are going to be going back and forth with different tire sizes i would do at least 4.10's with 34's. this way when you put the 32's back on you'll be good and have some extra oomff.
B/S. my 3" IRO lift calls for 4.5" b/s. i just put 4" b/s silver soft 8's on 235 Dura tracs and LOVE the stance. it does stick out about 3/4- 1" past the flare. for a 5.5 lift i would do at least 4"b/s 3.75" if i had flares.
We have flare laws here too,but they don't mess with you to much.
sound like a sweeeet set up. can't wait to see it.
