Okay got a '99 XJ Sport with nv242. Ordered RE 4.5" with a few upgrades and running 33s.
1. I am 95% sure I am gonna order a RE HnT SYE and High Angle Driveline shaft. I was told by Dirk I can give him my stock shafts length and he can go ahead and get the shaft ordered for me so I won't have to drive around in 4 wheel hi. Anyone had issues with this setup? Or with having someone assum the length of your shaft ahead of time? I am a big supporter of HD SYEs, but there is none out there for the 242. I am not buying into TW kit, its $250 more and is still not considered a HD kit.
2. What degree shims do I need to order? I hear with the longer shackle I should only need a 2.5* shim, but I am not sure. Surley someone on here has this setup?
3. Should I be worried at all about running 33s with my 3.55s for 3-4 weeks? I am just running my old X-Terrains that only measure 32" since there is 4-8 mm of tread left, lol.
4. I may go ahead and go 35s once I get regeared, I am wondering what extra front bump stop I am gonna need? I have the RE 4.5" with packs, JKS discos, HD TB w/ mount, adj. arms, JKS monotube shocks, and DPG rear bumpstop plates.
I think thats it.
