i have done over a dozen of theese. What makes you think I dont the out come?

I have 3 xjs, one is an 87 with this lift that has 230,000 on it. I put the lift on it when there was 97,000 on the clock. Its seen 2 motors, 2 rear ends, a t-case and a tranny. But only 1 lift and it drives like the day I bought it.

 

heres my .02. if you dont want your jeep to get hurt, park it in a tep controled garage and start it once a week. perfect, it will never get hurt. if you want to use it like a jeep, then use it, lift it, bog it, do whatever makes you happy. now this is not to be a dik, just sayin

 

I just mean I don't want to mess it up by making a poor, uneducated decision. But that has been clarified. People think I'm crazy because I beat the s*** out of my XJ so much lol. I love to show up my buddies with their big ol' trucks and me with my scrappy little stock Cherokee. Love it!

Well I was just curious as I am a very meticulous person. Could you just elaborate more on the leaf conversion? That's the only part I'm worried about. Other than that, thanks for posting that tutorial, it just might save me $600.

 

does this help at all???

Does that kit function like an AAL kit would (my basic leaves on on their dying limb) or is it using new leaves?

 

I believe you just use the main leaf for that

 

ON A BASTARD PACK YOU CAN DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS, YOU CAN CUT THE EYES OF THE S-10 OR DAKOTA SPRINGS AND USE THE WHOLE THING AND USE YOU FULL LEAF PACK AND GET MORE LIFT OR MES WITH IT AND GET THE HEIGHT YOU WANT. opps caps. thats the beauty of a bastard pack.

 

I talked to a wheeling suspension dealer type guy today, he said the problem with doing a bastard pack like this is that it doesn't flex very well. I know it said it in the guide on lunghd, but I was wondering if anyone has like an RTI score or a good picture of it in a flex. I'm still thinking of going with rc's kit.

 

I dont know about "RTI scores" but look at the pics again. Looks like it flexes pretty damn good to me.

I can only lead a horse to water. I cant make him drink. I sincerely hope you have good luck with the rc lift.

 

I'm going to look at that a little more carefully. Looks like your front swaybar is removed?

 

let me ask you this, if you where selling, ummm, lets say a honda and someone wanted to buy it, would you tell them theres a better honda up the street for less???
its just a question

 

The real kicker there is that I told him I was going to install it myself, and he actually doesn't make much of anything off of it. It was cheaper from him than it was to buy online.

 

bro its gonna boil down to what you want to do. some people want BRAND NEW stuff and some like USED. me doesnt really matter, im gonna beat the crap outta my jeep so what doesnt hold up, gets replaced with better stuff.

 

Flex and ride at 3" higher than stock.

 

get whatever you want, but there better be pics after all these pages
