XJ 4" lift
« on: March 01, 2008, 09:16:07 PM »
On a 1994 4.0L XJ with a 4" suspension lift does it affect the prop shafts etc ??

my mates all have rangies and lardies and any suspension lift requires prop shaft mods, changed radius arms and all sorts of other stuff, is there anything I should check to see if it has been done before I buy it??

Cheers guys

Drive it and if there's a load of vibration from the driveline the rear prop isn't aligned properly.

at 4 inchs it will vibe quite a bit!! but you won't need to change it!

when i had a 4.5inch re lift they supplied a set of 3/4 spacers to drop the cross member down and a set of 1.5inch longer shackles to point diff up over. it worked great without a single vibe!!!

The consensus on Pro Comp lifts is that the springs are bastard hard and the leaves are prone to rotating about the centre pin.

I had exactly the same problem with Skyslacker springs, it's not just Procomp that suffer.

I'd love to know where you fit chrome A arms on an XJ though. :-?
