Keep the stock LCAs and your stock shocks will be fine. Once you get new Lowers that allow for increased flex you NEED to get longer shocks

 

does it matter if i use 2x4 leafs out of an S10 or so i need to get 4x4 leafs? this is curently killing my brain... HELP

 

Doesn't really matter. I'd save yourself the hassle and just buy full leaf packs

 

The leaf packs really arent that much more expensive and are so easy to install. Im really glad I went that route

 

dont want to sacrifice fuel mileage where can i get a leveling kit that give about 2 inchs in lift so i can put 30 inch bfg mts on it

 

Shouldn't need to lift it to fit 30's. Unless your stock springs are sagging bad.

 

Ok well can one inch blocks and spacers give that little extra height for clearence when offroad i do a lot of trail riding to my stands in the hunting season and would like some clearence but like i said its my dd so dont want to sacrifice the 24 mpg i have

 

Dont do blocks, just order a new shackle, only a little more expensive and probably last longer

24 mpg? HOLY COW!!! Thats incredible. I think I was at 18 b4 I lifted it and now Im at 14

 

I really doubt he's getting that great of gas milage. then again I average 18 to the gallon with 3" and 31s

 

i drive 240 miles twice a week and can do that on half a tank adds up to about 24 mpg and then i get to the city and drive it like i stole it so there no telling what my city mpgs are plus its at stock height with 235s

 

so rear shackles what about the front? what do i do there spacers?

 

i have a '91 XJ lifted 4.5 inches on 32x11.50 bridgestone dueler mt's. i dont want to buy new tires but my two fronts are cupping and the 2 back ones are low on tread as well. i want something affordable but still good on street and mud. right now this is a DD and WO (weekend offroader). any suggestions on a decent tire good for street and some wheeling on the weekends? also i dont wanna go out of the 32x11.50 range if i dont have to. thanks guys.

 

ok so what do ya'll think about the Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 in a 33x12.50x15 for my '91 XJ?

 

brought a fixer upper from a guy who slapped some huge springs on and didnt upgrade steering angles, track bar or anything its riding about 6 inches high. I want to correct everything but not sure where to start... track bar,crossover steering, long arms, or maybe saying f it and going with a new lift...any suggestions? heres a pic below...

 

I have a 96 with a RE 3.5" super ride that I've had for 7 or 8 years. I've been happy with the RE products but now have a 99 and want to go a different route with it. I'm thinking about the Old Man Emu 3" heavy duty with full leafs. Just wondering if anyone is/has run this specific set-up and could offer any insight? Actual gained height? Any/how much sagging over time? It's main function will be a DD but it will definitely be off-roaded...primarily woods/trails and beach as opposed to rockcrawling or serious mudbogging.

If I go the OME route, I may also add an inchish spacer to the front and commanche shackles in the back...but not sure. If anyone has this OME set-up or can offer insight I'd love to hear it. Thanks.
