I've got an intro below but not to annoy anyone i'm mostly asking for guidelines on adjusting my control arms to the right length per inches of lift and any constructive criticism on my setup below.
Hey everybody i'm actually Colin and i'm new to the site and lifting XJs. always liked them for being quite capable and nice vehicles stock. i know what i'm doing mechanically i work at a mopar garage and junkyard in Rhode Island (i work on all vehicles though). Been doing the old dodge trucks thing (straight axles and leafs at all four corners) for quite a while. lifting these is a new game for me.
I'm going to be running a mixed lift off different XJs in the yard and brand new bought parts so here it goes:
96 cherokee 4.0 AX-15 NP231 starting from total stock
3.5" Rustys packs, 1.5" teraflex shackles, what i suspect to be older 4"ish RANCHO OR ROUGH COUNTRY COILS (orange manufacturer coating NO serial or part #s INPUT HERE?) and spacers, some really beefy adj. LCAs, Rustys adj. trac-bar, Alloy USA cable lock for the D30, Teraflex T-case drop, flexible brake lines, skyjacker shocks, 33x12.50s on 4.5" offset ARs
AND even though it kills me to use ford parts i'm swapping in an 8.8 thats already set up for an XJ and in good condition (i did the last service on it)
SO again any sort of guide to adjusting my LCAs and when i get UCAs?
any ideas on those coils?
any other criticisms/suggestions for me? i know i need a SYE
