Don't use PVC. It doesn't dissipate heat. Actually, doesn't it insulate? Causing it to progressively get hotter? Again, bam. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/my...snorkle-67919/
Edit.. I know, I know, it's PVC.. But it s the idea.

Well i don't see how thats possible, but i ran no bumpstops for a while and all i did was blow shocks constantly. Plus i dont know how big your tires are, but 35" baja claws are pricey, and cutting them up because the lack of a ten dollar part is just plain dumb
Is that pic of you just sitting at ride height?

you sir are very wrong.
I guess "the right setup" to you is a ton of lift, shocks mounted in the factory location on the axle hogging tons of ground clearance, tiny tires, narrow track width, and stiff springs.
On top of that, you must not wheel all that hard to not have any bottoming out going on.

no that is that tire all the way as high as i could get it with the front pass completely tucked to the bump stop
for one you are losing travel when you move your axle shock mount up just weld some 1/4 inch plate on it bc you will have a smaller shock. i am running 32's and getting 33's KM2's when i have money. and yeah i am running stock wheel width bc trails i go down you wouldn't fit. also i have 4.5 inch leaf with 2.5 inch shackles so i have tons of travel in the back. and i just wheeled yesterday and had it on on 3 wheels. i only use easy trails to get to the trails that actully my xj was built for.

I ran half your lift with more tire, and lots of bumpstop (which was used not only when flexing, but on hard hits and landings).
4.5" lift, 35's, 8" travel shocks, stock upper location, raised lowers, bumpstops.
Bumpstops allow longer travel shocks, longer travel shocks allow more articulation.

14. Homebrew sliders that kill ground clearance.
15. Dual steering stabilizers.
16. Aftermarket sway bar disconnect kits....just take it off man.
