2"lift Question

dbltapp · Aug 22, 2003

I am going to be putting a 2"lift into my 96 XJ w/85,000miles, and wanted to know what kind of things might pop up along the way,or after everything is in. I am using 2" coil springs from BDS, and custom 2"leaf spring packs from a spring shop. I will also be putting in new shocks. Any help would be great! Thanx

expect potential vibe problems (it all varies). expect to have to do alignment after the lift, expect to hit every single bolt with PB Blaster (no... wd40 is not the same thing...) beforehand to avoid breakage, expect to break at least one bolt someplace...

I am planning on doing a no vibe dance before we start!

I have extra U bolts, what other bolts would you suggest?

oh... just remembered... swap out the upper shock mount botls, and the crossmemmber bolts to grade 8 bolts.... it will help you out in a long run....

kejtar- You wouldn't happen to know the sizes, off the top of your head. Thanx

crossmember: 10mm x1.5 pitch and I think that the upper shock bolts are 5/16" ????? I'm not 100% sure on the latter.... sorry
