So I have 1997, the lift is coming today, it's RC's 4.5 short arm kit. I know that different years of xjs give you different vibrations, but should I be fine with just the dropped t case or am I gunna need an SYE or ext. Driveshaft etc. I just want to know before I get it all done lol

I was just finishing up a pro comp 3" lift that I picked up off CL, and my front sway bar links are up against the springs, I was told the lift was a 3". Am I going to need extended sway bar links to correct this problem ? my current sway bar link bushing's are shot. According to the current pro comp lift kit it should have come with sway bar links but didn't. This was a older kit I picked up.

Hey man...forgot to mention earlier...about the blocks. Instead of using them look into these. I've heard good things about them from some buddies

there ya go! you ever worried about inverting your leaves Dukie? And that's just the stock shackle correct? I think these are a good option instead of just whole new shackles...cause you can adjust as well correct?

265s are exactly 32" diameter

Dunno about the same wheels but those are 16s and the same tire - 265/75R16
