Has anyone installed 63" Chevy springs under their XJ using the Ruff Stuff kit http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/63SWP.html ?

Any build threads or pics?

I'm going to be swapping a 8.8 in the rear also.

Thanks

when they hell did they get that kit! coulda saved me a weeks work relocating mine by hand
63's are huge. I'd imagine you'd have to run them off the rear bumper. and plate the floor and tie the front mounts into the frame. go find foxwar on NAXJA he's got 63's on. he's not running these brackets but you can see what he had to do to make them fit. I'm only running 56's and they're not installed yet

I would think way past the bumper since they are a good 11" longer than stock springs.

when you cut off the front hangers you weld the new one on forward plenty enough to fit the springs. it should fit

Gotcha. I'm looking for something in the 54-57" range that'll give me somewhere around 3-4" of lift and 3-4" of stretch myself. Don't plan on moving the front hangers though since they are tied into my plating.

I will be adding unibody stiffener kit at the same time. Looks like guys are getting crazy flex.
