just curious, installed 4.5"leafpacks on my XJ but do not have the rims/tires to stick on it, and see formyself... how much lift should i see? I should say how much more lift should i see? I have had TeraFlex AAL i believe 2" and 1.5"shackle. AAL went shackle staid, any ideas how much lift i will endup with? i know that 4.5" is usuallly more then 4.5" by RE standards... also to any folks that did the shackles, what is the proper torque spec on the lower bolts?

Upper shackle bolt--115
Lower shackle bolt--80

took 30 seconds worth of searching. if you can, put your axles on jackstands then measure should be the same if it was sitting on tires. there YOU go dumbass

sorry, but a buddy that helped me do this shi* said that if i put anti seize on my bolts, i should probably torque these more, what do you think ?

its ok man, just the internet.

not sure about the anti sieze, i would keep the same torque specs, however dont torque them until you have weight (the tires on ground) on it. just recheck them after a couple days and if they loosened up i would check again a few days later.

since your arms and track bar are at different angles than before, especially if they are for 4.5" lift, it will affect it. what arms and bar are you running.


p.s.-i dont really mind trying to help but a quick search will usually turn up an answer for you
