When I got it the Xj had a 3" Rough Country 3" Series II Suspension with 3" lifted coil springs, lower control arms, and sway-bar drop brackets, 4 RC N2.0 series shocks, new stabilizer, 3" track bar and new rear leaf springs. 31x10.50x15 duratracs on stock rims.
So far I have done the following:
I have only had to on the trail once so far but I was amazed how preformed.
Here are a few pics:
How I got it
