Hello.

I am new to the Jeep world but have had a blast with my new to me 99 Xj.

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:

• 33x12.50x15 Dura Tracs on new rims

• pulled sway bar drop bracket and added Rough Country Sway Bar Link Quick Disconnects
• Smittybilt XRC Front Bumper w/ Winch Plate 84-01 Jeep Cherokee XJ 76810 Black with Bull bar
• Smittybilt XRC8, 8,000 lb. Winch, Recovery Gear, Jeep, 12v, 5.5 HP - 97281
• 4-1 RACING HEADER EXHAUST JEEP CHEROKEE XJ 4.0L

I also have the following that will be going on this weekend:

• Bushwacker Cut-Out Style Fender Flares

• 84-01 New Jeep XJ Cherokee Adjustable front Track Bar 4.5" - 6.5"
  

• 84-01 Jeep XJ Cherokee Control Arm Drop for Lift Kit rough country

• Jeep Cherokee XJ 1" Transfer Case Drop Bracket lowering Kit spacer

• Rough Country XJ Bar Pin Eliminator Kit
  

• Rubicon Express XJ 5.5" Front Coil Springs RE1345

• Rough Country Jeep TJ / XJ Tie Rod Upgrade Kit

• Jeep XJ Cherokee Drop Pitman Arm w/ 2-6.5" Lift
  

• 84-02 Jeep Cherokee XJ Rear 1.5-2.5 Shackles Lift Kit

• 3/4 front coil spring spacer to offset bumper/winch weight

• Extended braided stainless Brake lines

I have only had to on the trail once so far but I was amazed how preformed.


Here are a few pics:

Welcome to CF! Where about in the NW burbs are you? You should introduce yourself in the Illinois thread as well: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f39/il...9/#post2593420

 

JDHedman,
If you are using a spring spacer on the front to offset the weight of the bumper/winch, why are you putting longer shackes in the rear to lift that too?

 

welcome to the forums

 

Welcome to the forum

Yea I am pulling the 3" coil springs and going to the RE 5.5" springs in front.


Thanks for the warm welcome everyone

 

Got the flares on today

 

Great looking ride. Welcome from another "newbie". Flares look great.

 

Got some parts on today... Hoping the front settles a bit or the spring spacers will come out.. the RE HD coil springs didnt sag a bit. Still have some parts to get on but its getting there
