well it started out as a zone 3 inch add a leaf. got crown springs that didn't realize till it was put together that they were the heavy duty version that were 6 5/8 arch plus the add a leaf made it stand way tall in the back. after all is said and done i am sitting right at 5 in the rear and 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 in the front. this is fine by me but its thrown everything way off. too much angle in the rear made it undriveable. installed full SYE and new driveshaft (front shaft from a wrecked xj) it was okay but vibes were really bad. measured my rear angle and what i though to be correct and came out to needing 6 degree shims in the rear. installed them and it is now driveable, but still some decent vibes. the rear shaft still doesn't look right to me angles wise. removed the front shaft to single that out being how i know my front needs some control arms, just torn on whether to do uppers or lowers adjustable. have had many conflicting conversations on the matter. trying to get someone to give a an idea to wrap my head around on the dynamics of the lift. not wanting to drop the tcase for reasons i will keep to myself...

 

Some pics would help.

The pinion on your rear axle should point up towards the tcase. Basically NO angle on the rear most ujoint of the rear shaft.

 

hopefully you can tell something by these

tried to shoot them as straight as possible

 

Is the drive shaft maxed out? It looks like it is. I don't think that would cause problems other than limiting suspension travel in a bad way...

You sure its coming from the rear? Try greasing the slip yoke? Looks a little dry.

 

Anyone parting out a Black XJ around Indy? Also looking for bumpers and some decent 30-9.50-15 tires (or similar)

Thanks!!

 

It's close to maxed out but not there. I know it looks dry but it has tons of grease in it. I made sure when I put it in that it was full

 

Seen two at local junkyards just last weekend. They would be more than glad to part them out!

 

Which yards? I havent been to a JY in probably 5 years... lol

 

Pic a part and pull a part in Indy, within 5-10 miles of eachother downtown area.

While your there I'll give you my list…

 

Kinda sorta really off subject but would anyone happen to have a crib they are looking to get rid of?

 

I don't use Facebook, but there are local garage sale type pages on there my girl tells me about all these good deals all the time on there. May check one if them out

 

Ya my wife checks those all the time but hasn't seen any cribs lately and my brother in law needs one so figured I'd check on here

 

Any place around kokomo to go trail riding?

 

Got my TJ Ravines on today.

 

looks good!
