My son and I just competed the RC 4.5 with leaf pack install on the our 98 XJ. This rides on top of Maxis Bighorn 32x11.50 on 15x10 Chrome spokes. For the most part the install was uneventful. All the upper shock bolts broke which I took care of by using an air hammer and quickly driving them through. This method was picked up here and really worked as described. What could have been hours of agonizing work was truly turned into ten minutes. The rear springs/shackles are a bit noisy. I set the tow and got the wheel lined back up. The XJ tracks correctly and has no drive line irregularities as tested up to 65MPH. One thing that we found was the wrong U bolts were shipped. What we got was U bolts for the 2.75" axle instead of the 3". Rough Country is sending replacments. The whole job took about 12 hours mostly due to having to heat up most every bolt so we could get them out.
We're happy with the way it turned out.
