Long Road Trips?
Is anyone on here taking any 500 mile plus highway trips with their lifted xjs?
If so what tire size and gears are you running?
Im planning on going to 33s with 4.10s and am wondering what it will be like at
75mph+.
Thanks

XJs aren't race cars. I would personally never take it above 75. That would be my absolute max. And I'm on 33s and 4.56s

Dallas to Chicago area twice, Dallas to northern Missouri, and multiple trips from Dallas to Hot Springs. 35's and 4.88's, the gas mileage sucked but the ride at 75-80 was fine. Typically I don't do over 65 though in an effort to save on gas as much as possible.
