I have an 88 xj I bought with rusty's 8" long arm lift already installed. And its way stiff I'm running 36x14.5x15" super swampers. Is there any way to get some more flex out of this lift or should I look into new coils and mabby taking a leaf or two out of rear
And I'm looking to lower it down around 7" if possible
thanks

Take a leaf out and get shackle relocation brackets from RC. They do wonders

Amazing rustys coils not flexing....

They use super stiff springs in some kits might want to look into that also does it have stock steering?

Ya that what I was thinking on the rear but the front coils are just massive lol. I daily drive it with out sway bars with out any probblems.

At 8 inches im sure you have disco's but trim if you haven't and removing leafs and maybe going with RE or clayton springs would flex out better

Has rox steering box brace and I believe a 3" drop pitman arm but I could be wrong. All the links are stock

Discos? This is my first long arm lifted Jeep

Sway bar disconnects. Sorry i forgot earlier you said you dont drive with swaybars.

matt_xj

Oh ya lol no sway bars on the street that's how stiff it is

Not much to do about front but swap the coils.

It's the aliens that are hidden in your tires that are causing it...

In all seriousness, you are probably going to have to look into changing your spring setup as others have mentioned.

That's odd, every rusty's coil I've ever used has been almost too soft. I'm running their 6" now and they are great. Any idea how old the kit is because there is a little break in period but it's usually not all that long. Take it out and make it flex in a ditch or something and see if that helps any.

Lmao only aliens we got are the illegal ones.

Are the shocks maxing out?
And what about rear shackle angle?
Steering or track bar binding?


If all that's good then you probably have one of their hd springs

Shocks maxing out not sure on the droop side but can't even get close to stuffing the tire I to the fender.

And how will I tell if steering or track bar is binding?

I hear some guys running. Rusty's take off the pass uper control arm...
