I posted on this before, at the risk of being a tad repetitive,
I did a lot of work on my xj last year, 35" tires, clayton long arm, and an 8" clayton lift.
Truck is a bit tippy .. ended up flipping it last year, though in retrospect, a lot of what happened was probably driver error (was driving for years on 33" tires/4" lift, first time out, got cocky...)
I was considering dropping the truck down by 2" to make it a bit more stable. Having literally taken he truck out once with the current set up, I'd rather not get into spending money and lowering it for what I think will be a marginal gain in stability (though I still haven't decided on this)
Just considering other options, I'm also thinking about increasing the backspacing on the wheels, push them out a bit. Any thoughts on this? I know it will put some additional strain on the axles; rear is an f8.8, front is a rebuilt d35 (I know). is this worth trying? looking for people who have actually tried this.
Thanks!
