Because that is what you are looking for.

And did you happen to read the thread title you were in?

No, I didn't do it... That's completely obvious.

It's nice that you got that from thin air.

It's also obvious that I have more than one XJ.

Captain Obvious here.



You're right, without the correct modification you'll lose travel over the stock arms... If you lack the knowledge or drive to get it done then it's not for you.

Just drill some holes in them. They'll flex so much better.

 

Its amazing those little stock xj arms hold anything

Notice how the left arm is much thicker? Mainly about 3.5in back from the bushing where the stocker tapers down quite a bit.

There is a LCA stop on the axle that bottoms against the control arm to prevent it from lowering anymore. 2in difference between control arms is what it measures.

I have spent some effort making the most of what little I have. So when I installed the new arms and lost 20% of my travel. Yea, I had second thoughts.

Yes I can cut back the stops on the shock mount to allow more travel. But that adds to the other two mods to the control arms you must do.

For that work, and effort. I would rather spend the extra 50 bucks and get aftermarket control arms, where you gain even more travel.

My opinion, and I believe I am allowed that.

 

I love 3 inch lifts. Just wanted to toss that in there.

Ok regrets:

*buying el cheapo lights to "save money" Then buying 2 sets of KC's a month later.
* cold air intake. Don't do this.
*using RC's rear blocks. Which cracked in 2 weeks. Went to auto zone bought 3inch blocks for 30 bucks not only haven't broken,but gave the truck some rake.
*taking my factory roof rack off my 95 and selling it. Had a safari rack lined up to buy but the dude backed out. Thus leaving me roof rack less.
*putting off doing the oil filter adapter o rings. 3 starters later I replaced them . Just do it now.lol
*cutting my exhaust off after the cat. Ended up replacing it all bc it was loud as he'll and the fumes were unbearable.
*putting synthetic blend oil in my 95 xj w/ 183k miles. Blew every gasket known to man. I didn't know any better then. I was just starting tech school.
*putting a bag of mulch on my backseat. Had to look at that stain for the rest of the time I shared with that particular xj.
*ordering my lift thru jc Whitney. They sent me 4 coils and 4 blocks basically 2 of everything but NO shocks. 2 days before a huge snowstorm.
*driving the jeep shock less because I couldn't just not drive it after lifting it!Omg boat mobile.


oh I'm sure there are more. Lol

 

I figured you woulda learned your lesson about blocks and I expected you to finish this statement with "and I bought some actual leaf springs" lol

 

Synthetic oil is bad?

 

Nooooooooo don't get this one started.

 

Idk lol I just put $65 worth if full synthetic oil in the jeep

 

Same here... dammit you're scaring me now!

 

I just can't understand why people pay that much for oil, castol gtx conventional is 24 something for an oil change on sale at advance auto parts all the time, you could change your oil 3 times with conventional for the same price as one time with synthetic.

 

Beware the synthetic oil my friends. Some high mileage motors fair fine. Others do not. I'm sure there is a ton of people who would put their opinions in but here is mine: I'm sticking to regular oil. Lol

Never had an issue with those blocks. Still on the truck to this day. Will I be using blocks on my 2000? Awww hell nawwww. Lol. I didn't know any better back then. And I have a real job now. Lol

 

PO covering his sons bad smoking habit with febreeze. Ripped the whole interior out and replaced everything but the front seats... While getting impatient and cutting the back carpet wrong, and the front doesn't sit right(need to fix that)

 

How much did you pay for the dang WJ arms!? I'm not sure I know of any decent LCAs that only cost 50 bucks more than the WJ arms.

 

well, it pays for itself with less frequent oil changes and more mpg, but mobil 1 is only $36 walmart

try pouring conventional at 30 below, it's like syrup, then pour synthetic

 

Less frequent yes, but not enough difference to make up for the price difference, and why would you want to change your oil less often? That's just letting the dirt be in your engine longer.
