Default Lift questions/long arm

Hey guys, let me start by saying what i already have, Its been pieced together from the last owner and me, so far i have a bds 4.5 inch lift basically, i have 4.5 inch coils, and there 3 inch leaf pack and i have the back up on a 2 inch block also, which im thinking about taking it out and putting tereflex's shackle on it but anyways right now all i have is a short arm kit, and im thinking about getting the long arm conversion through serious offroad, and i still need to do a sye which ill probably be doing that here soon because i want to get this long arm kit on before summer hits, and also was going to put jks's acos under the front coils...any comments or anything on this??? Been doing a lot of research and just going over everything with other people since this is my first xj, and im also running bfg km2 mud terrain 33x12.5x15 on a 10 inch wide rim which i am very happy with

I don't think u would need the ACOS but u got it right about replacing the blocks with shackles. Look into shackle relocation brackets as well.

Looks pretty good. Like previously stated, ditch the blocks and get the shackles. ACOS are nice but extremely expensive unless you get a good deal. I don't think I've seen an XJ on here with them yet. Definitely go long arm... makes your Jeep much more enjoyable to drive and much more effective off road. Check out the link in my signature if you need some ideas on long arm kits out there (long arms are red at the bottom). I would say spend the money you are thinking about spending on ACOS and get the SYE.

I only did the lift blocks for a temporary fix till i got more money to do what i wanted...and im going to go with serious offroad's long arm conversion i think, and i want the acos so i can adjust the height a little bit, i want the front to sit higher to begin with so it is kind of killing two birds with one stone, and i was thinking about that shackle relocation actually also, and just going with a stronger shackle in the rear i just dont want the pinion angle to be way off...its about perfect right now with the lift block because i got a 2 inch bds lift block and it is i believe a 2 degree lift block so i didnt need to put any wedges or anything in it which was nice, but i need new shackles for sure to begin with so im just debating on the setup for the rear to get good flex im going to make all my bumpstops when i get it to where i like it also

Is there anything loose under it? Check and make sure all your nuts and bolts are tight, also tires will throw it off looks like your using stock LCA's so your probably not lifted very much i take it?
