Default Is this good flex?

89 xj 3'' aal and coils, 2'' spacers and f150 shackles for a total of 5'' lift. Also v8 GC tierod. Those are the only suspen. mods, other then shocks and brakelines.

Is this good flex, considering I am still on stock Lca's?
That oak fell during hurricane irene, and is about 2ft tall. Tires are 235s, and when I got out, my back drivers wheel came off the ground about 2''

Remove the sway bar in the rear and make disconnects for the front.

I seriously doubt that..... unless you have like p195 tires, you would be stuffed into your fender wells a ways before it got that high.

This is about 7" lift and 35s no front sway bar, and still had the rear sway bar on. (i no longer have the Jeep though, it went thru a part out, and then the empty shell went to the scrap yard. Frame rails twisted and cracked)
This rock is about 2 foot tall



same Jeep on flat ground (to show amount of lift) with my sister (who is taller then me) next to it (she wanted to use my Jeep for her senior pics)

nice man. I just picked up a set of 5 bfg at 31's last night, getting them mounted and balanced today on my pacer wheels I bought for $70 for 5. The tires were 4 with 10/32 of tread(new is 16/32) and 1 BRAND new, all for $300.

Im also making my build thread today, so look for that sometime today. Project: big red is the title.
