Id say go to advance auto, buy a v8 zj 4x4 MOOG tie rod, and a TRE, as well as a MOOG adj sleeve. Youll be set.

 

Does this come with what everything? Or is that just the tie rod?

After:





6.5'' lift, pieced together over a month, spent $802 total. Long arms are next!

 

Id eat it.. Is that pink?

 

Nah, all red. Possibly a better pic:

 

Ah, I see. Looks good.

 

Thanks. Wanted to just do a few red accents. New tie rod, long arms, and pretty much anything else I upgrade will go to black. I'm loving the lift. The height difference is awesome on the road. Ride's not too bad with the control arms. Doing the hack n tap later today, too. Install went pretty smooth, overall. Was in my buddy's driveway for 3 days though.. Rear leaf spring bolt was facing towards the gas tank, so it snagged on the hitch, had to cut and buy a new one. Previous owner installed upper BPEs on the rear shocks, and cut the floors to do so lol. Everything else pretty much came out OK, PB blasting helped! The XJ only fell off the jack once, luckily no one was near it when we were jacking it up. Also got to do most of the work in the rain too! haha

 

I think when I go long arms im going to paint mine dozer yellow.

 

That'd look nice! I probably would paint my other stuff, but not wanting to pay for a new powder coat, or sand down an already good paint job and rattle can it.. I'll just keep it how it is. I already have to touch my some shocks and a coil due to installation, but that's what I expected.

 

Get some better pics Derek, those make everything that is red look pink!

 

I know, I know lol. My friends are giving me ***** on Facebook lol. I assure you all I used red spray paint haha. That's what I get for using a cell phone camera. I'll bring my camera with my later today when I go to my buddy's place for the HnT.



Meant to actually send you this pic, too. Glad you posted here to remind me lol.

 

Looks nice. I tought it would look too big but it doesn't.

 

Yeah, it's not that bad actually. I fit in my garage with room to spare, although my hi-lift barely clears. I love the height on the road, and I'm sure it'll be nice on the trails. Cage is on my list though, lol.

 

This better? haha

 

I'm looking into getting a 6.5 Rc lift and running 35s, what all do I need besides the lift wheels and tires?
