It would be interesting to know what all had been done to the XJ to get that flex.

It looks like lower control arms in the front tie to a common point in the center of the chassis and the uppers are mounted independently. The rear has some kind of custom coil spring set up. Note the tranfer case is located further back also. Total custom job, probably the only thing still XJ is the body.

Ya, I see the sub frame for the trans, trans case, and I can see the coil in the rear. I can't tell much from the photo about how the suspension is set up, and what he is running for axles. It looks to me like he is running 44s on ton axles but I can't tell for sure and by the way most of the flex is in the rear, I would think the rear is a triangulated four link of course this could be all wrong cause I can't really see it. Sounds good though. lol

Yep!

It looks like he built a subframe to attach ALL of his suspension components to. He has a pretty sweet 4 link set up in the rear - which other members have converted their leaf set up to as well. Wonder if he's got an SYE.............haha. I wonder if there are any motor/engine/brake/transmission upgrades? Maybe we should message him...HAHA.
