What is this?
Could someone please tell me what these are. I have seen them before on CF but I can't seem to find the name now. Thanks in advance.

Yea there are alot of different brands. I dont know what specific one that is. Rough Country/Terraflex are kinda similar.

I googled those brands and none are that tall. I guess I should be asking if this is a safe setup. My XJ came with these and a t-case and they both look a little sketchy.

Sorry for confusion at first. I didnt look close enough. They are defiantly some kind of stud extender. They sell them at auto-zone for like 6 bucks. As long as the bolts are long enough to get grip it should be perfectly safe. The person who had it probably just didn't want to buy new shocks after the lift and boosted up the old.

Same with the T-case skid. It looks like they might have done that on the skid so the exhaust doesnt rattle against it. You are fine

That is the cross member that the tcase bolts to. Those spacers lower it down because cherokees have slip yoke driveshafts. Lifting the vehicle causes that slip yoke to "slip out" farther than it would normally and can cause vibrations.

You are correct. It didn't even register in my head as the crossmember. I have not had the stock one in along time. Thanks for giving him the right answer!
