First Xj, a few concerns with existing lift.
Hey Everyone, This is my first XJ as well as my first post. It's a 98 with a 5" lift (I think) 33x12.5x15 tires. I'm pretty sure that the control arms are the old style Rubicon Express with heim joints on the lower ones. Also think that the coils are Rubicon. The steering stabilizer is Rancho. I have no idea on the sway discos or the track bar. The track bar has a heim joint on it's top.
My concerns are that all of the joints/bushings/tie rods need to be replaced asap. I just want to make sure that from the pictures that everything looks like its okay the way it's installed, such as the control arm heims are not centered in the sleeves/spaces of the brackets. Does that matter?
I know that I'm going to swap the control arm heims with johnnie joints for a better ride as it's my DD. Will they go in between those spacers the same way?
Just everyone's overall thoughts on whats here now.
