Shouldn't settle in the front any only rear leafs.

Thought it might have been on an incline but couldn't tell.

The kit does sit higher in the front, 4.5" front coils and 3" rear springs with a 1" shackle

Yeah, give it a month or so and it will basically level itself out.

Nice looking jeep! I will have to keep my eyes open the next time I am out east

Strange that's just the opposite of about every other kit, thanks for posting that I stand corrected but looked more than a 1/2".


I've had my leafs and coils on now for going on 4 yrs next spring. I measured both for lift just before going to 4 1/2" using them and neither had settled more than 1/2" and that was the rear because of the weight of rear bumper and spare. The front was the same as it was ordered for the weight of a winch/bumper. Used ACOS on coils and a 1 1/2" Boomerang Shackle on the leafs for the lift.

Nope, we did not. Kit came with a 1" TC drop. I just figured it was worth it to do that cheap method first and see if there was post-lift vibration. If so, then I would do the SYE. Thus far, it rides like stock, so I am hopeful the TC drop is sufficient for now.

Thanks for posting this!! Just got a new XJ and was shopping around for lifts - this was my first choice, and you pretty much just sold me! Thanks man, and goodluck to you and your son on the XJ, it looks nice so far.
