Thanks for the class on DB's that really helped. Looks like I am going to need to get me some DB's then. After all this is my DD as well. Man, the list keeps growing. Not only that, I am running out of room in my room due to all the parts in boxes awaiting installation. I just wish I could...

Ok, I must be misunderstanding something here or am I correct. Correct me if I am wrong, the DB's move the mounting point for your CA's down? Thus making them less of an angle? If so, what difference does it make? I am not trying to sound whatever, it is just I have the 4.5 RE SF kit waiting to...

Do the drop brackets add height to the lift or no? If so, do I need to do something in the rear that takes that into account?

Could I use these in conjunction with RE's 4.5" Superflex kit?

I have read some about bumpers and air flow. I really like the look of the TnT rock runner front bumper however, I am curious does it really matter on air flow or is that something that I need to really pay attention to? I will being getting a winch too, so that is something else to factor in my...

Wax, I like the doors you made. I was curious if I could get the plans for both the front and back doors. I have a brother that can fab them up for me. I saw that you were giving out the specs. If you do not mind, I would like them too. On another note, I tried to send you PM, but your storage...

I have a question. I have a RE 4.5 Super Flex waiting to go in. If I use my ACOS I have and get this shackle relocation system, will I need new and longer control arms up front? I am just worried about changing the geometry under the vehicle by going higher. Thanks, Silent

Yeah, I am doing the same thing. I have been tossing this idea around for years. It was this or buying a whole new XJ, which I could not afford. I have been gathering parts for quite sometime now. I got a AW4 w/ a 242 AMC tcase off a 88/89 (cannot remember), got a Dana 30HP from a 97, got a...

I asked RE about that very same issue. They told me that it would not work. The bends in the 1600 are different than the 1660, not only that the bolts do not meet up right on the bracket. Also, the changes in the steering geometry would not work, or something to that effect. The 1600 is fine...

Ok, here is my situation. I have the RE XJ Super-Flex 4.5 w/leaf springs kit. I have been searching on TBs and not sure if I understand it. Do I need the RE TB drop bracket, if so why? Also, do I need the TB brace they sell as well? The TB I got with the kit is the RE1600. Thanks, Silent

I too have been reading and searching threads for this answer and cannot figure this out. I am currently running on 31x10.50.15's, with stock gears of 3.55. I was wondering if there is a gear setup that works well with 31's and 33's. The reason I am asking is I am trying to figure out if I can...

Mesh, Looks like new. I cannot wait till I start my rebuilds of the AW4 and the 242. Keep the updates and pics coming. MoparManiac, Definately let us know what kit they use. I have seen all kinds and kinda unsure which one to by. I saw this one on ebay...

Why not ATF4? I got some coastal fluid from Oreillys and they told me that would work fine, not too mention it has chrysler listed on the label. Please explain. If there is a problem with that fluid I will not use it anymore. Thanks, Silent

So, what AW4 kit did you end up getting and from where? I found a rebuild kit for the 242 on rigidsteel.com for around 135 plus shipping. I am not sure if that is the cheapest or not. However, I need to get the AW4 kit on order. Anyhow, let me know. Thanks, Silent

If you are going to rebuild your tranny and xfer case, where are you going to get your kits to do those rebuilds. I have a AW4 and a 242 I am going to be rebuilding very soon, and I am trying to find out where to get the rebuild kits and which brand to go with, although I am not sure that...

I just got a AW4 tranny and a 242 xfer case out of an 88 XJ (Renix). My question is can I bolt the xfer case on to my 95 XJ AW4 or do I have to use the old Renix AW4, which I have read there are electronic issues regarding the power/comfort switch. So, could I just bolt up the 88 Renix 242 to my...

If I can get a budget boost consisting of shackles and spacers for front and maybe trim a bit up front would I be good? Or do I need to get the wheel spacers too? Trying to minimize $$. Let me know. Thanks, Silent

Well, I feel stupid. I thought I could just get a wider rim and larger tires and be good. Now, I feel like I messed up my rig by not looking into the back spacing issue. And, I know nothing about wheel spacers and how safe they are.

How well do the spidertraxx work? Also, does anyone run them and how do you like them. One thing, are they good for a DD?

Yeah, I looked into it, but not as deep as I needed to I guess. I will be looking into the trimming. I just do not know how and where to do it. I do not see where it is hitting the CA's though. Also, if I already have my rims there is nothing I can do about the backspacing, so I am down to the...
