I started Friday after work and wrapped up today about 4 pm.
The XJ is a 2000 Sport automatic with 168k. It has a Chrysler 8.25 rear axle. It's a little saggy.
The lift includes OME 934 springs and CS033RB leaves; Bilstein 5100 shocks; Iron Rock Off-Road shackles, adjustable upper control arms, standard lower control arms, U-bolts and plates, and miscellaneous other stuff. I'm also replacing the front hubs and the steering stabilizer.
Here are the before measurements. These are from the floor of my garage to the bottom of the wheel flare. FD = front driver side. FP = front passenger side. RD = rear driver side. RP = rear passenger side.
On jack stands and ready to go.
New hub on. I replaced my brake rotors recently, so they weren't seized on (this time).
This worked great to access the front passenger upper shock bolt.
Removing the airbox is simple, and makes it much easier to reach the front driver's side upper shock bolt.
Vice grips were enough to keep the shock shaft from turning.
The trackbar axle mount bolt was a real pain.
