Finally lifted my 00XJ sport with pics!
Hey guys, I finally installed my RC 3" Xseries 2 lift with the steering stabilizer and transfer case drop. It was a major pain, every bolt that could've broken, broke. It was a miserable experience but I finally did it, and I love it. So much so, that I think I should've gone with a 6" lift.. But that will come in the future or so. Now I am waiting on my new tires 245/75/16. Then I gotta replace my 2 mini bank CA catalytic converter. As well as find the leak in my evap system. The fun never seems to end with a jeep. ever.
here are some pics guys, enjoy . OH and a few shout-outs to some of the awesome people who gave me advice along the way:
my buddy DOMENICO(couldn't have done it without him) salad,dans98xj,purpletoxin505,OProver,CCken,Jeepin 'Hubb's
And everyone else I forgot to mention
THANKS! I look forward to your advice in the future.
The Kit!
The Heep
Stickers Before the lift, Obviously!
It's true.
This goose is ready to take flight.
Oh and finally; The CATFISH next to the CHEROKEE(aka Goose).

Looks good. Post pics with the new tires when you get them. I also just purchased a rc 3inch. Haven't had a chance to put it on yet- its been riding around in my back seat 😜

Also, I hope you've been BP blasting those bolts. When everyone said "They will break" I said " NOPE NOT MINE, MY CAR WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ME
Then when I came to do the lift, the upper bolts on the rear shocks broke. ALL FOUR BOLTS. So then I said Well thats all that could possibly go wrong.. Wrong again, the leaf spring bolts all needed to be heated to get them out. Then I said it again "NOTHING CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG NOW" the transfer case studs would not come out until i heated them with an acetylene torch. I did not say nothing would go wrong after that. Fortunately enough, nothing did go wrong after that. SO yea. When people say be wary of bolts. Dont go into this too optimistic, you will cry and you might even be unprepared. I had to go out and buy a few things to finish the job.
