Default just lifted the XJ

its only a 2 inch lift, but ive put a 2 inch lift on several other jeeps, and this one sits higher then the other 2 inch lifted jeeps....im sure its bc its got the factory 1 inch lift too while my others didnt

its next to my 2 inch lifted WJ in the photos, and you can tell it sits higher then the WJ

hey thanx..yea i thought it looked a lot more like a 3 inch too...

i did it at a friends house, and he helped me with it so it would go faster with the two of us...and he has a 97 XJ, with the same lift, but he was amazed at how high mine looks with the same lift just bc mine has the factory 1 inch lift and his doesnt

im definitely happy with it...im taking it to haspin acres next weekend in indiana...give it a good test there

yea, im thinking this will do better then my YJ ever did...it had 4 inches of lift with 31 inch MTRs, instead of the 30 inch BFG ATs, but it had no flex, and the XJ has tons of it, and the YJ had an open rear diff, while my XJ has the limited slip rear diff.....so ive actually got higher hopes for the XJ then i did my YJ

Thank you! That helps a lot.

My heep has the UpCountry package as well and Im running 30" tires on it now. I was thinking of putting the RE 2" kit on it (needs shocks anyways) and running 31" tires. Just wanted to see how much room there was in the wheel wells. Thanks again!
