I got mine squated, i love the look

 

Don't forget to angle the headlights down when doing this dumba** thing..

 

You're gonna get crappy fuel mileage by having the back end squatted, you're always going uphill.

 

LOL. I realize that XJ and aerodynamics do not go well together but, I understand that there is a small amount of rake (higher in rear) designed into the XJ to improve airflow.
Also, due to rear cargo capacity and seating, would make sense to sit higher in the back when empty.

 

Mine sits a touch high due to uneven lift, but with the rear end loaded with a dirt bike, and gear it rides perfect.

 

We referece it here as a "Cali Squat".
Comes from the offroad and Baja competition setup to land it in control from high speed jumping. Of course those racers took the lesson from observing stock Cherokees.
The Cherokee trends to it naturally as a function of weakened rear springs.
For Cherokees it is a characteristic to be corrected in normal spring maintenance.
My opinion, don't do it purposefully, leave it to the mud ricers.

 

So there's a name for saggy leaf springs now? I gotta call my buddy to tell him his jeep isn't broke anymore, now it's cool!

 

yeah, i think it's a geographical thing. kinda like donks

 

I imagine its correlated to reading & education level.

 

The other way around might look better (Lower in the front-higher in the rear). It would give the jeep an aggressive look.

 

My jeep does the "squat" because i have like 250 pounds of wood in the back lol. Least if i move i can fit in

 

Just fill the back with all your wheeling gear and tools and spare parts and it will squat on it's own.

 

Haha I had no idea it had a name! Ive seen it down here in southern California but it is mainly the mexicans who have their trucks overloaded or the "bro's" who think it is cool. I asked a kid from Lakeside (the eastern, redneck side of SoCal) why his truck was like that and we came to the conclusion that it resembles the desert trucks at high speed or taking off from a stop. Its 100% cosmetic for the "aggressive" looks.
