OME 934's and JC1A's w/RE shackles and OME long travel shocks (3" lift) Adj lower control arms and JKS sway bar disconnects, 31x9.50 TSL radials on Canyon Rims. BPI rear bumper, KargoMaster rack, AJ's front bumper w/ push bar, Reflexxion Cowl hood, XJ Nation skids. 4:10 gearing, Posi-lock...

Well I always hear the AX-5 is weak.... but mine has 300k of abuse on it and is just now dropping outta gear when no load on it.... No movement of the shifter just drops outta gear in all gears. Maybe the blocking rings are shot? I need cheap and quick fix right now as the poor girl is getting...

Hey guys I'm here looking for a bit of help.... The AX-5 in my trusty old beater has just about given up on me after 300k miles. If you know of someone who has one laying in the corner of the garage or know of a junkyard that has any 84-86 V6 XJ's could ya let me know? I'm in Smithsburg.

Well about 50% will get away with 4" on stock LCA's, and the other 50% will get death wobble. From my experience and what I've heard the RRO guys are the type that will tell you to put a dual stabilizer on so you can cover up the problem instead of doing it right the 1st time. If you don't mind...

A Buick GN engine would be the best bang.... easy to fit light and gobs of horsepower, or the OF V6 from when Kaiser was building them if you want gobs of torque.... while you can still get valve train parts like hi po cams and roller lifters ect... from places like Kenne Bell for the old 215's...

My 04 F350 with the 6.0 can't seem to break the 10 mpg ceiling when the 28' GN with about 10k on it is hooked to it, hills or not... which has been sort of a dissapointment so far (the 6.0's were supposed to get better mileage than the 7.3's). But it's still better than the ole 2wd 78 f250 with...

Dunno why no one caught this yet but ...... ~15% bigger tires= 15% less mileage shown on the odometer. So it's really 15% better than you're thinking it is.... but it still does suck :) :) Mike B.

At 3" (934's and JC1A's w/RE shackles) the regular OME shocks were too short for mine, I had to use the Long travel versions. Mike B.

I'm running 934's and JC1A's w/RE shackles on my 86..... worked out to be 3" both front and rear. In back I have a BPI bumper, KargoMaster rack, and the spare up on the rack. In front is an AJ's Bumper w/ push bar which is pretty heavy.... She sits nice and level with that spring & shackle combo...
