My 3"kit flexes well. I haven't heard anything bad about any of their kits.

 

I'm getting a 3" RC lift for my 2k too. Did yo need a transfer case drop or did it work for you not to have one? What tires size are you running?

 

I didn't drop my tc or extend my brake lines, just stretched out the stock ones. As far as vibes go, I get small vibes on acceleration between 40-50mph before it shifts. No big deal for me. I'm running 235/75/15 right now but will be upgrading to 31/10.50. Btw I don't have any pics of the lift installed yet. Will be soon.Oh, make sure you get full leafs, not aal.

 

Here is a close up of the finished product.

 

Here's a side by side vs stock.

 

U can go to my photos and there is a rear pic of mine when it was on 3" with 33*12.50's....next to a stock one as well...

 

There is someone local here (where I live) selling a set of S10 leaf packs off of a 2003 S10 pick up. I verified they are 2.5 inches wide the same as my XJ.

Can I use the leafs off a 2003 S10 to make a bastard pack? He only wants $40 bucks for them. I hate to pass it up if I can use them.

 

Just right. I want to lift, get better, lift, get better and this looks like a great start. Thanks for getting up the pictures.

One more thing, what Adjustable Front Track Bar did you use? Anybody have a favorite for a 3" lift soon to be a 4.5" lift?

 

I love red xj's.

I dint know why but right now I want to keep the stock fenders. Do you think I could keep the stock look and go 32" tires?

 

32's on a 3"....yea you should be able to do that...it will be close, but should def be workable...and for a track bar...if ur thinking bout 4.5" soon...I would suggest just going with something like IRO adj. Double shear bar....

 

I'm still using the stock track bar.

 

Looks like I'll install my lift next weekend. What hardware might I need. I'll be changing the front and rear springs, socks, LCA, track bar, steering stabilizer, DICOS, SYE.

 

Thanks Stryker, I was hoping to wait on this if I could. Did you have to relocate the track bar or did it line up OK in the stock position?

 

Does anyone know if I can use leaf packs from a 2003 2wd S10 pick-up to make some bastard packs?

 

More than likely, but you could always measure the spring width to double check
