Title: BOOTY IN THE AIR

Hi I have had my jeep a month now and I noticed the back is higher than the front. The bloke I bought it off had new rear leafs fitted, he said he was going to do the fronts but never got round to it.
From the centre of the hubs to the mudguard measures 17.5 inches front and 18.5 at the rear, are these measurements right?

I am also getting some vibrations when accelerating between 20 and 35 mph, the ATF level in the gearbox is high, how do I check it correctly and drain fluid off. I know it is high because it is at the top level when cold.
Any help would be great.

Having a rear that high up is a positive in XJ circles....nowt to worry about

looks like you have some diesel springs on the back which give just over an inch of lift. you could add 1" spacers ontop of the front springs or just leave it for the time being.

std height for a petrol xj is 17" from wheel hub centre to the top of the wheel arch
