Narfxj said:Keep in mind if you go to 33's and you have the AW4 trans (auto) with stock gears 3.55 it will not wanna shift into overdrive. So keep that in mind that you should take what gears you have in consideration.

CustomCrawler said:You convinced me.
Dump the 4.5 and 33s and go for 3" rouch country rear spring and 31s. Then buy a d35 locker.
Just to let you guys know im came frmo a family that never beat there rigs, so I drive careful off road. Unless im on a dirtbike of course!
terryd said:well, i'm new to XJ's and wheeling in general. decided that i didn't want to drop that kinda coin on my DD until i knew i liked it. i started with ZJ coils in the front and an S-10 2nd and 3rd leaf under the stock XJ main in the rear. got me about 1.5" of lift. i run 235/75's open/open. i did put the JKS track bar on mine when i blew out the ball end of the stock unit. Its a good size to learn to wheel, helps keep you humble and off the trails where you could do major damage to you, your jeep, and spectators. i'm getting ready to do a 3" on mine. tera-flex coils, new XJ main leaves, and alot of other bastard componets.
too late for that, get some 3x6 rectangular tubing, remove the dented panels and weld the tubing in it's place!!! cheap and protected. see madxj.com I did it on my first one and loved it. I'll do it on the new one when Michigan road salt wrecks them!mecompco said:Perhaps you might consider some rocker protection during your next round of upgrades?

That way you aren't out it all when you are done and decide to sell for a fast car, or need money for college, etc. And if you never give up on the XJ your only like $100 away from another 1.5"
