Hello,
I am attempting to try and finish my xj. I need a handful of things to get it going again.
Bought an xj dana 44 which I need ubolts for. Does anyone have a good source for these? Or should i just go to the dealer? No lift blocks.
I am also trying to choose shocks. Are the 7100 and 9100 bilstein really that much better than the 5150's? I am not doing any desert prerunning or anything but they are just so cool looking.
I also need help on shock length, which I know varies between builds and such but a ball park would help. when i get my new gears installed i plan to have the shock mounts shortened on the rear.
Limit straps...where to buy and what length.
Specs:
tnt ylink
RE 7.5 coils
no spacers
6" big offroad/alcan flex packs(yes i understand now its too much lift)
hd eng shackle boxes
havent chosen shackles yet, need those too.
going to run 35" tires.
Also am I going to have to install all this stuff and then determine my rear pinion angle to see if I need a degree shim or not? There was one on my old springs(alcan 4.5"). Those had a 1 inch block and chevy shackles.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this thing has been sitting for like 3 years now while i slowly piece things together.
Oh and I do mild to moderate rock crawling, katemcy tx type stuff, but would really like to take it on a trek to colorado.
Thanks
Alan
