it might look cool on a buggy but that xj just looks like theres too much ***** in the back or the lifts not finished. i mean when i was doin my lift i got pics after i got the rear end done and thought it looked kinda cool with the rear end up and the front down but only slightly. wouldnt wanna drive it like that. i just dont like it. esp with those tires. you have clearance for the front but not the back? whats gonna happen? you go over a rock with the front end and majically it goes away for your back end to clear?

yea but then u gotta buy parts for 2 diff lifts. and shocks. i just dont really see the point. i mean i live in NC and this is the first time ive ever heard anything about squats other than in the weight room. it just doesnt look appealing. i mean i understand u wanna be in a small group unlike all the other lifted xjs. but thats why you own a jeep so you can build it your way. i mean your gonna do what you want irregardless of our opinions and thats what makes your xj. not the forums xj. if thats your thing then go for it. just know that were gonna rip on ya for it.

Looks dumb. Like they couldnt afford a full lift, so they only lifted one end. Kind of like those ricers that would bolt on a fiberglass bodykit and not paint it.
