Thats what I thought. They came with my lift kit and they were the same length as the stock. So, since I already paid to have an alignment is this something I should be able to adjust myself. Seems easy. Just need to do the same amount on both sides. But how much should I adjust them??

Ok, here we go:
'94 XJ, 4.0l, Sport
6" Rough Country installed in '05
Rusty's heavy duty track bar
32"x 15"x 10.5" BFG AT's
ARB Bull Bar, Surco Rack custom mounted
K&N Intake, Banks Headers, Accelerator muffler
Husky Liners, fiberglass flooring, vinyl headliner
My question is: How high sould my XJ sit? It dosent look like it's sitting as high as some other XJ's with the same lift. Can someone at least tell me what a stock height should be? My tires are a little worn down (need to replace) but the spring height seems like it should be taller. I want to get 33"s and not sure if my lift will clear them with out cutting (dont want to cut just yet)
Any ideas?
Thank you for any help.

measure from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame rail. Subtract the stock measurement to find out your actual lift.
Stock Front = 6.75"
Stock Rear = 6"

I just measured it and it is 16.09 alittle longer than stock. so why would me castor be so far out and is that what is causeing the wheel wobble. it is only when I hit bumps or around turns on highway turns at 75mph

That sounds about right. Any idea how thick of a spacer I would have to make. Like I said. I have a 3 1/2 rough country lift. I would think that it should be pretty standard.
