Hey guys,
I've been doing quite a lot of reading lately, because I now want to upgrade my XJ even more. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2405004/1 This is what I've done with my ride thus far.
However, this time around, I wanna go for a 6" lift and 33x12.5 tires, which craves wee bit more attention to additional modifications.
I've gathered quite a lot of information from the various forums out there, but I still feel the need to ask a couple of stupid questions too many, 'stead of just rushing headfirst into a wall.
Metaphors aside, here are the questions I was hoping you could assist me with. There are a lot of SYE-kits out there, but I would like to have one recomended. I understand that this will be based upon personal opinions, but considering the fact that most of you prolly know a lot more than me, that's ok.. So, which SYE-kit should I get? (have a NP231 transfer-case)
I've been looking at various CV-shafts, however, I struggle to figure out which length I should go for. With a 6" lift and 33" tires on a '99 XJ, how long must the shaft be?
Except for new bumpstops, are there any additional instalations I should consider if I go ahead and get myself a Skyjacker 6" liftkit? Oh, and how long should the bumpstops be?
Considering the fact that I have a 2,5 Turbo Diesel engine, I've had a hard time finding a snorkel for my car, any ideas?
I'm asking all these questions for various reasons, one of them being I live in Norway. Since I order all my parts from either 4WD or Quadratec, there's nasty shipingtime involved, so I prefer ordering everything I need in one batch..
