Hey all,
I've owned my '00 XJ for a month or two now, and I absolutely love it. However, I'm dying to do some light mods and I haven't done much to it except new tires.
Unfortunately they're on 16 inch rims; I really wanted to lift it without having to buy new rims, but it needed the tires BADLY and I didn't feel like forking over the cash for the rims or bigger tires... so I went ahead and put on some Pro Comp All Terrains that are the same tire size as the stock tires. They were one of the only all terrains that would fit the rim, they didn't cost a lot of dough and they serve me very well on the trails and on the road.
I'm still thinking about doing a very minor lift for two reasons: because I want to see it up and off the ground a little more (without looking ridiculous while keeping the stock tire size, if it's actually possible :laugh3, and because I want to be rid of the sagging leaf springs in the back (best excuse haha I know... can't help it ).
I'd love to do a huge lift on it, but I don't have the time to get involved with anything besides the suspension... I lifted an F-150 I used to have by 8 inches and stuck 38s under that thing and it was a ton of work. A joy, but a ton of work... Besides that, I really don't need a large lift right now.
Anyone have suggestions?
