Hi there,
I'm starting to plan my upgrade budget/schedule/etc. for the sping and I need to decide on a few things. I was wondering if I could get some opinions to make these upgrades as appropriate for me as possible.
PS: When I get to work, I will take as many pictures as possible and post them. I'm also doing a floor repair/herculiner job and HVAC heater/AC repair. So, I've got a lot on my plate this spring/summer.
99 XJ Sport (4X4 - chrysler 8.25 rear)
Question 1: I want to get a lift done (Not sure if this will happen this year, but I want to prepare). I have changed my rear DS u-joints twice in 3 years, I think due to vibration so I would like to do a SYE before I even do the lift (I'm between a 3.5 to 4.5 lift).
There is no way I'm spending 500 - 600$ on a SYE, so I'm going to do the PORC SYE for 170$ combined with a junker front DS.
**Would this cause any problem if I'm still on stock suspension, and if not will it work once I go up 3.5 - 4.5 inches of lift???. **
Question 2:
I want to also put a rear locker, but am not sure how to go about it. I live in Canada, so ice/snow is a big concern with auto lockers. I've read that it can make the drive pretty bad on Ice. I dont think the wife will like that too much. I was looking at OX cable locks, but they don't seem to make an 8.25 locker. Any ideas how good an air locker is?
Thanks,
