6.5" lift on short arms
Is anyone running 6.5" lift on short arms? I want to lift my xj to 6.5 but cant afford long arms. How does it ride/handle?

Honestly, I'd suggest holding off on the 6" lift if you can't afford it right now.
There's a lot more involved with a 6" lift than there is with a 3" lift.
Bolt on a nice 4" lift and wheel it until you can afford to do it right.
But if you must go 6 inches now... at least put drop brackets on it.

I've ran 6.5 on short arms, short arms with drop brackets, and now long arms. If you plan on going to a 6.5in lift save for a couple more months and go straight to the long arms. It will save you a lot of money, time, and trouble in the long run.
