Nobody called your rig a hoopty,they said it would look hoopty if you did that stupid a$$ cali lean.And as for jealous......bro there is probably a 1000 XJs on here that look AT LEAST as good as yours get real its just another lifted Xj.But to answer your original question.....no it probably wont do a thing to your drive line if you chuck in a couple of spacers

I don't think it would look that bad. What about half the people on the forum with flat or rainbow'ed leafs with lifts? Unless everyone else has leaf springs that don't loose their integrety over time (sure you do) than I think everone at one point has had this cali lean...

Around MI we would call the "cali lean" a broken ***** POS and tell you to fix the rear suspension.

it may look ok on prerunner pickups doing 150mph down the sand over whoops...but not an XJ or anythings else

RETARDED LOOKING:


IMO the only reason a vehicle should look like that is because it has broken *** rear springs...

I agree, Mine has a little Cali Lean to it because I haven't gotten to fixing my rear leafs, I didn't have to to build the bastard pack so i just threw in some blocks i had laying around. it came up a little short
