That's what I'm on so yes... Adjustable ones will help with driveline angles of the front axle and a little with alignment

31x9.5 or 10.5, sure. Assuming they make them for 17s

I wouldn't go wider than a 10.5 max on a 6" wheel, though, so you might have trouble going larger than 31 on those wheels.

Quick questions (I hope). Would Teraflex adjustable lower control arms from a TJ with a 4 inch lift work on an XJ with about a 2 inch lift? And would I need 2 or 4 of 'em?

...and yeah, the questions do indicate that I am still pretty clueless. (No time to research it: it's a C/L "deal" of the day.)

I think they would. Only need 2 for your lowers. You need to research though...

Depends on the length of them really... If they go short enough they'll work

Thanks, and to all. They're cheap enough that I'll just take a chance (yeah, "that" cheap lol). And at $30 for the additional pair, I'll just throw 'em in the spare parts box.

...didn't really have time to research it. Busy w/work today. Appreciate all the timely responses.

On my 1990, I used 1995 YJ Jeep front and rear brake lines, 15.99 each for fronts and 12.99 rear, for $45. So, if you can find a nice kit somewhere, or better price from rock auto, you have this reference price. Plenty of brake line for higher lifts. I figured my XJ has 317K, it was time to do a bit of preventative maintenance. Drained the master cylinder and flushed the whole system until clear dot3 came out. Just putting this out there for others.
