Howdy, folks.
After tooling around with the 3" lift and 31s for a few years, I'd like to finally take my XJ up a notch or two and step up to 6.5" and 33s. I've been looking at products for a long time and I've come up with what I think will be a good combination of parts. Still, I respect the opinions of the wise members of this forum and know that I can get some good input from them before I start ordering parts. So, without further adeu:
For the front:
-TNT Customs y-link
-Rusty's 6.5" coils
-JCR 1-ton over-the-knuckle steering
(already have the following
-BDS adjustable track bar
-JKS Quicker disconnects
-Rusty's 8" shocks
For the rear:
-Rusty's 6.5" leaf packs
-Billet steel 6 degree shims
-Rusty's 6" shocks
Other:
AA SYE and Tom Woods DS
I know Rusty's has gained a bad rap on some of their products, but I have their 3" kit on right now and I've been very happy with it thus far. The spring rates are about perfect and the shocks have held up very well.
The only other things I'm worried about are-
Will I need a drop pitman arm?
What type of steering box brace works best?
What's the best bang-for-your-buck on extended brake lines?
The Jeep is used primarily for offroad, but I like to take trips in it to far away wheling spots and that will probably include the occasional cross-country haul. I don't wheel crazy and I like to take it pretty easy on my Jeep as it has a certain sentimental value to it (but I'm not too worried about the dented rockers or scratched paint).
Vehicle info:
1995 Cherokee Country
4.0/AW4/231
D30/C8.25
