Title: XJ Lift - 3"
Post by: AdrianW on May 11, 2006, 08:41:06 AM

Got a mate Andy who should be along to introduce himself shortly, for some reason he's decided I have some idea what I'm talking about when it comes to Jeeps (I know a little and I'm learning  :prayer:

I'd agree with KD.

When it goes on there may be some bit and pieces to sort out like bumpstops/minor rubbing etc. but it's no problem really you just have to see what happens.

I agree on the tyre size - the gearing is the main issue, which in turn makes the fuel economy even worse... :(

Also... don't forget that the front axle will be out of line - which means getting an adjustable track bar, track bar relocation bracket or getting the standard bar extended/modified. Then recentring the steering wheel. Don't go for a Warrior trackbar - there are completely shite - I bent two and a mate had one sheer completely...

He's getting a ProComp Explorer 3" kit, which comes with a track bar relocation bracket and different lower arms

That's the same lift I've got. The springs are very hard, maybe a bit too hard tbh.

I've got 31x10.5 bfgs and they rub a bit on full lock but adjusting the bump-stops will fix that.
