I just did a flex test and it dint flex as much as some of the pics ive seen of xj with similar setups as mine.
My question is how can i get more flex?
Im wanting to go higher up to a 6" or 8" but at the moment I cant due to budget issues.

 

Some pics of the flex i have at the moment

 

disconnect sway bars, make sure shocks are correct size

 

Shocks came with the lift kit. I assume they are correct. Hows the ride without sway bars?

 

still have sway bars? they will limit your flex. i have nun and i flex like this 4.5 inches of lift. 3 inch lift + 1.5 spacer and shackle added .







get some disconnects should get some more movement like my rig. and many others

 

not bad just dont go bombing thru tight corners

 

Ride is the same because you get disconects for the front for $70 so you have a sway bar up front while onroad. Ditch the rear one alltogether. You are not flexing because of swaybars for sure. Shackle relocators for the rear improve flex but they will lift you a bit. Pics of my flex on 4.5in are in my album. you will flex the same on 3 inches if you have smaller tires. More pics in my album.

 

sway bars hold you back alot...2" bb

 

Watch your brake lines...

 

this is how mine stuffs the tires with a 3 inch and no swaybars!

 

pull the rear sway out. you wont notice it gone on the highway. Look into front swaybar disconnects. I dont like the feel on road with no front sway. oh and like he said your rear brake line will need to be extended. fronts should be ok.

 

Im going ditch the rear this week and Im looking into making my own disconnects. Its a simple kit so i see no reason i cant make it. As for tires Im running 31" but Im switching to 32" this week and going with off set wheels.
Im going to trim this weekend.
Thank you guys. Im not sure why i dint think of the sway bars.

 

Lower control arms? I only get like 2" of downward flex on my stock LCA's

 

You can cut a piece of the mount on the lca on the axle giving a few more inches.
I know that i need to get longer lcas but Im looking into building some.

 

Disconnect your swaybars !

3" on 31's Front Swaybar disconnected, Rear Sway bar connected (Not fully flexed out either)
