i have an 89 cherokee, dana 44 in the rear. i bought a 6.5 inch rough country lift and mounting 33s under it, what should i also upgrade without braking things? like slip yoke eliminator? things like that

sguiffre13

jeep has a d44? did you do this

TDironhorse513

no the 87 to 89 with the tow package come stock with it.

well i learned something new today, but im assuming the kit comes with brake lines and a t-case drop. you will prolly need a sye and extended ds. but other than that i cant think of anything off the top of my head

TDironhorse513

yea i have steel braided brake lines and i figured on the sye and alright. any certain ds?

sguiffre13

nope, not to farmilliar with driveshafts because my 95 only has 4.5" of lift so i got away without getting one, im sure if you find a truck with the same tcase as you at a jy then you could go from there

With the d.s. depends on our shackles.... I don't have sye... I picked up a d.s. out of I think a 94 grand...1.5" longer... pinion angle.is right and it is nice.

Extended brake lines
Shocks
SYE
Limiting straps

A front driveshaft from a 91+ AW4 equipped XJ can be used out back.

I have an 89 with a Dana 44 rear and a Rough Country 6.5" lift. I do not have a SYE (yet) but my pinion angle is set pretty good and I have almost no vibration. I am also still using stock driveshafts. Stock shafts came in different lenghths so if yours don't work you can probably find ones that will in a junkyard. The kit does drop the tranfer case a bit so you wont need to worry about that. If you purchased the 6.5" long arm kit it will come with everything you need including brake lines, track bar, drop pitman arm, shocks etc... If you just bought the long arm kit upgrade, then you will need to find all of the other stuff that comes in the kit.

Oooh what do you think of those? And are they stock height or do they give you lift?

billulsund

In my opinion you would be better off with shackle relocation brackets. I know some people who are happy with revolver shackles, but I have also heard of horror stories of them unloading on a hill and causing big problems. You will also get about an inch of lift from the relocation brackets. If you are already running longer shackles you will not get any additional lift out of revolver shackles.

older xjs seem to not need syes at the higher lift to eliminate ds vibe ,if its in the budget id do it a hack and tap from iron rock off road can save a few dollars in this area

Ya I don't really want any lift at the shackles. I'm gonna drop down to 5.5 and see what I think. My leafs are 5.5... but im thinking about how I ultimately want to set everything up.
