the detention center here is you get a timed shift, either 8-4, 4 to 12, or 12 to 8. I want 12 to 8. (midnight to 8am). and its you work 4 days, off for 2.

status on it: application was accepted, and physical/written test is on July 9th.

lol. well hey, if you make good money. you make good money. also, the way the state troopers work, they could put you anywhere in the state, and you either have to drive hours, or move. that's why im sticking with my county. A baltimore county cop went through my line at shoprite today and was trying to convince me to do BC cadet program.

No disrespect intended ...but honest life facts...

It also gets old finding info the same way you should have found it.

Agreed. This kids have the Internet. We had to go the library and find crap with the Dewey decimal system. Lol.

I would measure pinion angle and driveshaft angle. You want your pinion to point about 2 degrees below the driveshaft angle. If you don't have a angle finder they have a free angle finder app for smart phones.

you shouldn't need any shims at all. Shims are used if you're installing a SYE and CV driveshaft, or a transfer case drop - neither of which you should need with that lift height and model year XJ.

no no write up. How high are you thinking? I made mine different than most in hopes it would only give me 3" of lift - but it ended up giving me much more than that. Your only option for less lift is an all XJ bastard pack - (main, cut main, 2nd, cut 2nd, 3rd, 4th) - should yield about 2" of lift.

If you want less than like 4" out of the springs I suggest you just buy new packs - they'll perform better and you'll know what you're getting. With mine there was always the question of exactly how much lift they would net me - and as you see I was a bit off (not that i'm upset with that).
