Thanks!! I'm hoping after the sye and the cv drive shaft I get rid of the vibration. It is for my daughter but she won't have her full license for at least a year gives me plenty of time to work out any issues...

You may still need shims. I have some (slight) vibes still after my SYE& drive shaft. I think I only need a few degrees of shims. XJ looks great, wish my dad hooked me up with a sweet lifter XJ when I got my license.

Do the SYE and DS and measure the angles. With my relocation bracket and boomerang shackles, it kicks my rear pinion up some so it works out.

Sye and new drive shaft are in, much improved no more vibration rides great. So well my wife actually drove it ( she thinks I'm out of my mind building this for my daughter). For now I'm going to use it as my run around vehicle till she gets her license.

Such a lucky kid... The lift kit complemented well with your wheel design. By the way are those atx wheels?
