Congratulations! Always figured that's how I'd do it. I kinda did but, that's another story.

Sounds like a town fair tire job lol

I've done that a few times, it smoothes out quite a bit when you start passing 65, then your just a brick in the wind lol

Got my drag link and track bar cut. Just need to be welded up after work.

Trac bar ended up at 5 3/4" shorter then the drag link. Closest it's going to get with out moving the coil buckets.

I used ruffstuff brackets, offset axle mount and frame outside mount to get as much added length as I could.

Thats bout the truth of it. Eventually you will get valve float but dont think our XJ will ever get to a high enough speed to do that. But hey we can dream right? Lol

For work on the XJ, just picked up a brand new Lincoln Power MIG 180c (on sale locally), cart, tank, and gas for the price of a new 180c. I have a 100 amp panel in my garage so adding the outlet will be a simple thing.

Changed out the radiator, water pump and t-stat. Three issues down, too many other things to count to go. Just Empty Every Pocket is right!

Was checking my front to see if theres anything else I need to get for my new suspension and found one of my coil retaining brackets missing. Called napa, no go. Called the stealership and it's $18 a piece for a tiny piece of metal. Smdh
