    2" lift, Long shackle or Add-a-Leaf?

    Considering a little lift for our '01 XJ which is stock, riding on 235/75r15s Wranglers. The most we do off-road are camping trails which may be washed out. No rock-crawling. Also don't want to get into needing a SYE or other mods but if necessary could go for a Hack-n-Tap and front DS for...

    Hood vents, scoops etc. Heat extraction

    Our newly acquired '01 XJ is black and on a warm day we did have the vaporized fuel in the hot rail idle issue. Summer here is brutal so I'm looking for options for scoops or vents on the low budget side. I've seen the spacer / stacked washer approach to raise the rear of the hood and wonder...

    Aftermarket stock size trackbar suggestions?

    2001 XJ Sport, 150,000 miles. Bought it a couple of months ago and it just developed the DW when hitting potholes. Got the trackbar off after confirming a lot of play in its bushing. Getting the balljoint loose with a pickle fork may have damaged it as it's difficult to move. So, replacing...

    Lifting shackles to level old leaf springs?

    Noob here. My 17 year old son's '01 XJ is new to us, is stock, and in great shape. But the rear springs are sagging. Not terribly, but it's noticeable. There are no plans for a lift so is it advisable to use longer "lifting shackles" to level it out again? I've seen shackles with both a 1"...
