What to do with $122

AwesomeXJ · Dec 10, 2013

So I ordered the coils and leads I needed and have $122 left over.

Here are my options:
Set of boomarang shackels - $86
Hd shackel relocation brackets - $120
Set of 6.5in longer break lines - $115
Unibody stiffeners - $100
Re SYE - $122 + $30(out of pocket)
Set of glass h4 headlights - $80

I want to get the most bang for my buck but I'm not sure which one to choose. Help!

Another suggestion - I see you're considering buying H4s. How about a relay harness first?

For the brake lines, you can get some oem parts (I was reading an thread the other day I'll have to find it) from a parts store that are about that much linger than stock, and no where near $115

Oh geez don't do that... HID burners in a H4 housing will not produce a proper beam pattern, no matter what the marketing literature says...

seriously please sell them to someone with a Honda and get good H4 housings and a relay harness or else how about some nice JW Speakers?

Brake lines

http://www.techna-fit.com/ I'm $40 into Custom made lines (including shipping) Pick your length, and witch angle you want the line to come off the caliper..

I would order that SYE ASAP, and get that taken care of before going up in lift height.. Get a front driveshaft and have it already done with you're current 3" lift..

I would do the

SYE, BREAKLINES, or unibody stiffeners. The other options can be done at anytime without any major work. The breaklines just need to be done. It really sucks when you break one I've done it going down saddle up. It wasn't fun. The sye is very important, and the stiffeners I would recommend putting on in the beginning of every build. I wish I would have.

If you get stiffeners get the ruffstuff ones they are the best I've installed

If your in a pinch and can't wait for mail order, Oil filter service in Portland can make the same lines while you wait. A bit more money but if you need it you need it. I had one made and it was about $20.00

X3.

I relocated my brake lines down with a 4 1/2" lift on my late model. But you can also sorce a wrangler rear and some Chevy truck fronts.

SYE! Then we don't have to listen to you complain about it anymore! Or frame stiffeners, don't buy relocation brackets cause you can make em. I bought the material for mine for $30 and still have some left over.

NW-ZJ-SCOTT · Dec 11, 2013

x2 I would run mid 90s Chev 2wd brake lines.. they are plenty for a 5" XJ lift.

AwesomeXJ · Dec 11, 2013

Total lift will be 6.5in.

I thinly I'll go with an sye.

RedJeep2.0 · Dec 11, 2013

Brown dog motor mounts and rail shifter are some of my best mods

Rail shifter won't do you any good.... So...

brown dog motor mounts 99 bucks. Leaves you 22 bucks for a cheeseburger? :roll:

bmikes · Dec 12, 2013

22 mcdoubles!

if your going to 6.5" Aaron. SYE is my call. on my AX15/231 I got away with 5.5" in the rear. No SYE. At 6" plus. it vibrated so bad I feared breaking something on the street.

and like others have said above. grab another front DS from the JY ($20) you will be off and running.

Bronze.
