They have an information tag on them. Or, you can look at the bolt pattern.

 

which ones are good?

 

-the front is a Dana 30.

-the rear you have 3 options.
D35 (not so good but ok)
8.25 Chrysler (most 96 and older 27 Spline and are good, 97 and newer are 29 spline and just barely weaker then a D44)
D44 (best)

refer to this....

 

ok back on track have you guys seen 3/4 elliptic set ups on XJs? if so do u guys have any pictures on how they did it with the unibody? ive done this on some other buggies and have a good idea for her cherokee

 

trimmed the fenders yesterday, next im going to fold the rear 1/4 in then ill throw the 35" mtz on after i fix the rear axle (loud poping noise feels like axles are about to snapp)

 

Looking good man. Not sure what axle you have in the back, but the D35 is pretty weak if you plan on running 35's. Otherwise, you will probably be fine if you aren't locked. And my choice on the long arms would be to do it right with Full Traction- those things are true 4 linked, and made pretty dang well.

 

Rough country is garbage and way overpriced go with a rustys offroad lift its a very good system for the xj and it dont burn holes in all your pockets

 

Yeah I like rustys we used them on a coustomers ranger we did a dana 30 SAS on, I have the chrysler 8.25 but I also have a ford 8.8 D2 from my ranger that I might wanna throw in because the super 88 kit is nasty and stock will hold with 38 no problem

 

i have some 4.5 inch rustys coil springs you can buy on 4 months of wear

 

The 4.5 RE coils on it now will work tell I get coilovers for her, the main focus is getting the rear end all smother out.. there is gear to gear noise of some sort...... it litterly feels like the axle is going to snapp. It use to be only in reverse now its forwerd weather im Goin strate or turning its klunking. Bad!
So ill near to tare that down and see what trouble there is in there

 

Check the driveshaft u joint, fluid and rear shocks. Rear shocks can make a lot of funny noises if loose or blown

 

well got the 35s of the truck and on the jeep, just need to bump stop it a little more then long arms will be next






posing on the bronco (still with 32s)

 

D30/8.25 can survive 35's... Just have to drive like you have some sense
I am running 36 swampers, on steel beadlocks on 1/2 axles.. YOu dont always need 1 tons.

Not many ppl run the 3/4 setup anymore. I think fine tunning them Is beyond most ppl's Math skills. Also it isnt much more work to do a 3 link, or a 4 link

You are going to call RC junk, but recommend Rusty's..WTF.. They are both junk setups. But both rusty's and RC make coils that last

Personally I am running a mix of parts, and it flat out works. Currently I am on 6.5 coils, but I am getting ready to drop back down to my 4.5 coils. Rk 3 link, and bastard pack leafs

 

Pinpong you say they are both junk then you say both of them make cooks that last confused

 

how are your packs made??
and i may just make my own arms if everyone has mixed opinions if i build them i know they are going to be strong and i only have my self to kick if they fail..
