Hi folks
I'm having the Rocky Road 2 inch budget lift installed today (2 inch polyurethane spring spacers, 1 1/2 inch greaseable shackles, 1/2 inch leaf spring spacer) on my wife’s daily driver, 4Liter, 4WD, 97 XJ. Few questions.
1. Will we have to have the speedo recalibrated after wheel and tire installation?
I have a couple options for tires and wheels;
2. Install my TJs 30X9 tires, 15X8 canyon wheels
3. buy new 30X9 tires, on either 7 or 8 X 15 wheels?
4. one-inch transfer case spacer?
Only other thing we may do suspension wise is install Old Man Emu shocks.. From my reading on here a transfer case spacer shouldn’t be needed, but I do like to learn from people who have more experience and wisdom than me. So any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Dan and Dora Johnson, Lansing, Michigan.
Btw, this XJ had several door dings in it when we bought it. Since this is my wife’s new vehicle and I’m trying to make it look sharp for her I found someone who does dentless paint repair. He charges 75 bucks a panel, not cheap, but cheaper than bodywork and paint. He did a great job.
