Guys with '97+ and Up Country...questions...

[nosajwp]

Do you get any driveline vibrations with your Up-Country springs? How is the ride quality. Have your rear springs sagged any?

Thanks!

No vibes here. Ride quality seems a bit stiffer than it was on my '01 Sport with the standard suspension, but not horribly so (and I suspect this may also be in part due to the Michelin LTX M/S tires it currently has, which seem rather road-biased for my tastes).

Yes, the rear springs have sagged a bit. Not as much as on my '01, but they're definitely starting to enter the end of their useful life.

had a 98 and the ride was great. Then I put an add a leaf (longer then the commonly found shorties, but shorter then the long ones) and I killed the pack in under 2 years (S shaped both of them). Stock height I had no vibe problems. When I lifted (with the AAL) I had to drop the tcase.

2000 XJ Classic. Auto, 242 transfer case, Mopar rear axle, Up Country. Vibes are noticeable but tolerable as long as I go light on the gas pedal.

2000 XJ Sport, 5-speed, 231 transfer case, Mopar rear axle, Up Country suspension. Vibes are NOT tolerable. SYE sitting on garage floor, awaiting arrival of sufficient funding for the new driveshaft. Basically, I don't drive this one, and won't until the SYE goes in.

Neither has sagged at all. Ride quality is excellent. Far better than my stock '88 XJ Pioneer.

My 98 with UC from the factory doesn't have any vibes. It really like the ride too. It rides much better than my 89 did with UC and Rancho 5000's.
