Default Saw This XJ Today





It had what looked like to be a rubicon express lift by the shocks and the tires were 33x12.5 Nitto Terra Grapplers

I was just curious if anyone can tell me what size lift this looks like cause i really like its look and would like to do something like this to my own XJ

Looks like 2 - 2" BB spacers on top of stock springs in the front. Can't see rear. maybe 3.5" total

Looks like someone needs an adjustable track bar worse than I do...

From the first picture it does look like 2 2" spacers above a stock spring.

So my guess would be 4".

yea i saw that XJ while i was dropping my car off at a shop so im not too sure if it will be there anymore but if i see it again i'll get closer shots

thats pretty much the set up i want to run 33x12.5's so i was just curious what would get me to sit like that thanks

and yea that is nothing compared to the snorkel on my friends ZJ...he has a sock over the end as his only air filter...o and 33x12.5's on the stock suspension with no carpet no electronics except for his lights and no doors haha

a sock for the filter? redneck at its worst..i run 33x12.5 on 5" of lift and had to trim. im also running rims with 4" of BS so the tires dont really tuck unless not turned at all. the xj in the pics looks like it is still on 5" of backspacing with would probably rub alot on the LCAs. my 33s rub on the LCAs but barely..i cant imagine how much 5" of BS would rub

The owner of this jeep is probably a plumber.
