Ok looking to run 31 or 32's and I've been looking at various kits.
Some 3" lifts sayd 33's others say 32's with a 4.5" lift, WTF?

I'm kinda leaning toward the 4.5 Inch Super-Flex Short Arm Lift Kit with Rear Leaf Springs and Twin Tube Shocks.

Anyone currently running this?
Besides the kit listed above and a SYE anything else needed?

Also just curious how could you tell I need to adjust the track bar with out seeing only the corner of it is in one of the pictures?

The way the coil is just isn't right.

Okay, do you know of anywrite ups on how to adjust the track bar? Or how will I know how far to adjust it?

whats a double shear mean? So adjusting it shorter should make both the springs straighten out? or just the pasanger side one? Once I adjust it do you think I'll still need new springs? or will I have to adjust it then wait a little and check them again? Also how do I tell how much to adjust it?

Also my track bar needs a new bushing on the adjustable end it's missing the seal dry and rubbing the bracket I couldn't figure out what brand it is the adjustment is on the drivers side unlike the track bar from rough country but I was told that I could put a bushing in it that is the same size that I don't have to but the bushing for the spacific track bar, do you know if thats true?

Thanks!

Looks like you need to adjust it by making the adjustable end shorter.

Yeah but how much shorter? like how would I tell? Or would I have to have someone local look at it? I've never worked on a track bar so I have no idea what it should or shouldn't look like and alsodont know if my springs are shot so I should start figureing out what I need for new ones or if I should adjust the track bar first?

I'm new at all this and this is my first car so I'm learning as we go here

my89xj

I adjust it, then stick it back to the bracket to check. I usually eyeball it. Looks like you need to adjust a good bit.

That's a great choice. I'm running their 3.5 inch kit with 33s.

Here's some pictures I just took didn't get one of the passanger side coil pad but they looked right to me but I don't know much about them, anyway the first three are of the driver side which seams worse and the fourth is of the pasanger side. where are the control arms? if there where I think they are then there are new ones there that are adjustable. Thanks!

Your axle is a touch off center.

Happy 4th! Question for ya,.... My xj has the "up country suspension". I been reading that its "like" a factory 1" lift, Question is. If I get a 3" lift will it only actually lift it 2". With the new coils and add a leaf......?

DieselD

Yes. In theory. If your factory up country leafs still had 1" over stock than yea. Odds are they're saggy.

JerrytheJeep

Yes, technically if you replace all your suspension with a 3" kit you will only see a 2" gain. I, and many others here, would highly reccommend full leaf packs over an add a leaf.

94XjSport94

You're replacing the coils and springs to get 3" of lift over stock so it would theoretically be a 2" difference for you but I highly doubt your up country suspension is still in tip top shape. You need good 3" coils and full leaf packs. Don't waste time or money on AAL's. Then get some good shocks as well
