Hello all, been lurking for a while. Just purchased a 2001 sport with 118k. Its in decent outside condition. Some dents and dings. nothing too bad. Doesn't have any rust and the interior is in great condition. That being said i plant to hurculine, raptor line or other line the exterior top body line, grill, hood and roof.
The interior will get a component speaker upgrade and subwoofer with a decent headunit as i dd this thing about 30 min one way to work.
I realized this is beating a dead horse, and i can and have found a lot of knowledge just by checking this forum and others. I need real world advise as to the direction to head with my dd family mobile.
Things I need the XJ to do.
-Needs to be a dedicated DD.
-Need the ability to get to work no matter what, in my job i can not just call in.
-Needs decent road manners, wife will ride in it, along with a brand new baby girl.
-Along with road manners, would be nice to get as good of ride quality as possible.
-would like to avoid SYE , but i will not rule it out to stop driveline vibes.
My current thoughts are DPG 2" basic lift, as it comes with springs,shocks and full leafs, all of which i would like to up grade on the XJ to not only lift but bring it back to or better than gem ride.
If i do this lift, what is the maximum tire size i will be able to do with fender cutting? Im thinking about 16" pro comp 7069's in matte black flavor, and some 285/75/16 treadwright guard dogs. thoughts? Eventually i will do bushwhacker flat flares or Napier flat flares.
Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
