Well no worries there andy, i decided to keep my short arms for now.

 

Just checked out the advanced adapters 231j sye. If I'm correct it will work for my 89?

 

yes, as long as you have a np231

 

Alright, i plan on a 1in tc drop and should I buy some shims?

 

If you go with the sye you don't need a tcase drop.

 

Should I try the tc drop before I get an sye.

 

A TC drop is a bandaid and it sacrifices ground clearance. A sye solves the problem but it is a little more expensive. If you stay at about 3-4" then the tc drop will suffice. If you ever plan on going higher, id go with a sye. Some say just get the sye, some say a tc drop is all you need.

 

I don't disagree, but a TC drop is a handful (literally) for bolts and spacers. You could probably still hold a beer in the same hand. So I'd say an SYE is A LOT more expensive.

My RE 4.5" lift is more like 6" right now in it's pre settling stage. No grinding, popping or vibration. I'm getting an SYE/VC in a few months but going on a trip without it in a couple weeks.

 

I guess ill have to see when I get there.

 

Jsuk, i run a tc drop with the only problem being it tends to drag on the rocks. I just can't afford a sye right now. Lol

 

I know this may sound dumb at the moment but I am wondering what is the maximum tire size I can run stock in my 98 cherokee without any problems until I scrounge up the money for a lift?

 

235/75 will cause zero rubbing. If you are willing to trim, the possibilities are endless

 

Thanks for the help man

 

i was reading that f150 springs lift an xj 4.5 inche has anyone done this and how does it look??

 

I bet it would look like an xj lifted about 4.5"

I can't imagine it rides anything but stiff as hell though. Dunno.
