Kind of expensive... I was hoping I could find them as a pair for less.
I will probably not. That would make too much sense.

Like so (imagine coil springs instead of leaf springs):

I don't understand what you are trying to say here. Does my pinon on the front differential need to go up? If so, what degrees does it need to be set at? The output shaft on the front of the transfer case is tilted UP 5 degrees so when you put the d shaft on, the first knuckle is up then the second angles back down. I think that part got too much angle in it when the body went up. Also, when I put the LCA's on and adjusted them out where the axle is centered in the wheel well, it cause the diff. pinion to turn down some where it is now sitting straight up and down, no angle.

What is throwing me off is the transfer case being tilted up. The front of it is up and the rear is down. It is not sitting flat. If it is suppose to be then something is wrong.

Alright so just got a $2000 referral bonus at work. I need new tires and perhaps wheels. Right now I have the stock 15x7 wheels on my 2000 XJ. I am looking at Soft and D Windows 15x8. I am also on stock suspension but doing a 2" lift in the future.

I am thinking 30x9.5x15 General Grabbers and 15" wheels with 4.00 backspacing? Will this work fine on stock suspension for the time being? Probably wont be lifted til next year.

I don't want to deal with the added other stuff with the 3" lift like relocating the brake lines and such. I wanted to keep the tire/wheel combo under 1000.

Yea man...3" u won't have to relocate, no new track bar, no trimming, no t case drop, no sye...its a very "fitting" lift....plus it looks very nice with some 31's....

For the wheels/tires...check Craigslist for sure..u can find some very good budget friendly deals on there!

But yea man any questions u got I'm pretty positive some here can help...and true there may be some close that can help out!
