Alright I am a newbie to the xj scene, I have a 2000 xj that is my dd, but I recently traded my 81 cherk http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/bartley2838/Cherk/ for a 96 xj with 4.0 aw4 np231 with 8 inches of lift, 35 inch BFG M/T 4.10 gears. Here is where you all come in here is the problems I have found.
1. Aluminum lift blocks in the rear - I dont mind blocks, the flatter the spring the smoother the ride but aluminum is terrible, I know this from experience.
2. Trac bar has been cut, extended and rewelded, but still not centering the axle, maybe a drop bracket needed?
3. Rubs on fenders, I will trim them out.
4. Rear sway bar still on.
5. One of the axle tube seals is leaking.
6. No pitman arm, How much pitman arm is needed?
7. No SYE
I have been lurking around here for awhile but now I need some answers. Like is it necessary to put stiffeners on?
I already have acquired a 79 ford F-150 4x4 to do a full size swap, but I plan on wheeling it like it is for a while after I get the problems I have pointed out fixed. I look forward to any input, and wheeling with some of you some time, I wheel missouri, oklahoma, arkansas, kansas area.
