Hey all,
Just joined this group. I recently bought an 88 wagoneer (XJ). It's in fairly decent shape, but the rear springs are sagging something fierce. (I also think the shocks are gone). I would like to fix that problem so I've been thinking about a lift kit. I have read the posts and everyone (almost) seems to like RE.
Now, the problem is, I'm on a REALLY tight budget. Of course I'd like to get a RE6025, but that's already more than I can afford. Plus wouldn't it look pretty stupid with 215/75/R15's? So, what are the opinions on RE6160? It would give me 2" of lift, and 4 shocks. If I go with an add a leaf setup, will I be dealing with the same problem in 6 months?
I really don't plan on doing a lot of off-roading. and if I do, it's mostly going to be power line trails, old railroad beds and the occasional mud hole. So, I really don't need to run 31's" and stuff. Any thoughts?
Also, are there any performance mods available for an 1988 4.0? It seems that everything is available for a 90' and up.
Thanks in advance.
Sean
