lift is not a factor in flex, it is more so control arms and brake line length as well as shock length... with the proper setup a long arm jeep with little lift can flex amazing... and flex doesnt mean everything either... you will see... I see you are in Colorado... I think EricsXJ is there...

look at the pics I posted there is one with bushwackers on 5.5" or 5" i forget which OH and you have to trim and bumpstop no matter what you do if you are putting those tires on even if you put on 32s you will have to trim and bumpstop.... I dunno who told you otherwise

LOL

x2 I would 5.5 or even 4.5 bumpstopped and trimmed... anything higher is TOO HIGH are some examples 4.5" 35s 4.5" 33s 5" i think 37s 5.5" 35s and finally mine 4.5" 33s

I would just lower the whole thing a lot... and you can solve a lot of issues you are probably having... Why 8" lift?

I threw on a cowl snorkle for a while, then took it out and but a high mounted cone filter.

This is what I was thinking, I want to see it in action though.... I was thinking Megasquirt would be an awesome setup for this thing, its not my jeep though so not my decision... I have seen megasquirt used on different vehicles with awesome results though.

there isnt really any lag in this system, but for offroading it doesnt really make sense imho... His gas mileage alone is worth the mod though. he got a couple mpg on the highway I believe. For some reason I keep picturing the jeep against a rock and trying to bump it up and over and the thing...

Ya if he wants a "street" jeep Max boost of any available blower kit is 8.5psi... thats all they reccomend. I dont think it will handle more unless you change the headgasket at the very least

6-6.5psi I think these motors can only take like 8 psi max without blowing. That what I have been reading anyway.

I had to get a new muffler and it still hits, so I am going to hit it with a hammer as stated above

Back problems for other reasons... but he is doing alright. The thing is nicely built and nice clean fab work done as well. The first pic is a video just click on it.

All Detours stuff is really reliable

use the tinted blue ones you have since they are barely blue anyway. Save money and replace them when they burn out..

I trimmed for 33s on a 4.5" lift just like that white XJ and then let the tires clearance/fold up the rest of the lip so it cleared, then I bumpstopped a tiny bit more.
