guys gotta fix the suspension,
99 xj np 242 hp30, c8.25 RE 3.5SF
my issue is how much lift can be given to the stock np242 and rear drive shaft?
i have a 1 inch TC drop that i want to get rid of ,( the brown dog motor mounts are extremely pissed) the trans cross-member is partially welded driver side because studs are broken. The stock shackles with the lift are 90 degrees . i dont have a welder and im in an apartment garage trying to solve this crap lol. :roll:
for the TC im considering a hack/tap, or advanced adapters output shaft. Claytons cross-member is removable and a long arm upgrade is possible plus the outter sides of the crossmember should be welded (so wouldnt need to drill or tap the stock crap stud holes) or cavfab if the cross-member is easily removable.
i have gears in the mail and the goal is to get her 1" higher, PROPERLY, and some bigger shoes. gotta get the basics fixed first though.
also I really enjoy the np 242 full time (colorado winter), so a 231 is not something i want to swap in. it is The, and my only DD
thank you very much for your help,
matt
