For a 3" lift what's a good length shock to get for good flex and droop

bhennessee1

that depends on a couple of things specific to your jeep. Like tire size, fender trimming, how much much droop your suspension will allow before something binds. It's more complicated than just saying a three inch lift. Flex your jeep out as far as it can before your tires hit, or something binds, and measure the distance between the shock mounts. Subtract maybe an inch and that's your collapsed length. Collapsed length pretty well determines travel length, so just pick a shock that won't bottom out on compression.

How hot should the IAC motor be to the touch after a 30min drive

Exactly 186.8*

Damn, knew i should have walked with my thermometer today :P.

I know as an electrician when motors get to hot to the touch they working on their way out. Tracking down my rough idle at red lights and the slight stumble.

What was the first year for the single headlight XJ?

So it was just the Wagoneers that had the dual lights?

NewKindOfClown

Yep, that was one of the defining features of the Wagoneer. It's still an XJ, though.

Random question:
Do 14" wheels fit on an XJ, or are there issues with brake clearance?

sycoglitch

Good question. What back spacing. Drums on many XJs are 9" diameter

280 mm diameter rotor gives us approximately 5.5" radius
Caliper seems to stick out 1", giving us 6.5" space requirement
14" rim has an outer diameter of 14", on a standard steel rim I'd expect the inner diameter to be at least 1" to 1.5" less, giving us a possible clearance of 6.25"-6.5"

I seriously doubt it

sycoglitch

Someone with 15" rim should take a good pic.

NewKindOfClown

It was just a thought. I don't have any particular set of wheels to reference.

I'll try to remember to take a picture tonight after work. Can't guarantee anything though, I'm not men's warehouse
