The rough country 6.5 inch long arm kit and slip yoke eliminator on a 96 Cherokee sport. XJ is weirdly clean too so a major plus. I crawled under it after a bought it and could read everything on every tag and plate on diff/transcase/etc..

Oh yeah I was very happy. I couldn't pass it up man.. Well I got started today.. The springs, shocks, upper and lower control arms are out and I got the lower mounts cut off and grinded down (painted) ... WOW that was a hassle.. Starting tomorrow with the crossmember and the drilling.. I have only had to cut off one bolt (upper control arm bolt) The flange part of it was bent and it wouldnt catch to let me loosen it.. Took the grinder to it .. So I am going to track one down in the morning.. It's going strangely well though! I have a basic set of tools/drill/grinder and bought the rest of what I needed off the list from RC. No AIR though.. BLOWS.. Literally.. Not too much beer today, tomorrow should be different.
