jeep donk? WTF...do you even know what a DONK is?

a true donk (vehicle wise) is a 72-76 Caprice/Impala, therefore, it is impossible to have a jeep DONK. Boxes are 78-90 Caprice/Impalas and Bubbles are 91-96 Caprice/Impalas. Any other vehicle with large rims is just that, a vehicle with large rims. I come from a very diversified vehicular background is the reason i know this.

Yeah I mean I'm just looking to lower the front and back 2-3 inches JUST FOR LOOKS. It doesnt have to handle better than stock, just not worse.

I think it may look something like this...






I say lower it... be different. If we all build/drove the same thing this place would be boring.

except its totally pointless. The main reason people lower cars is for better handling, it started with sport cars. An XJ will never be a sport car, so why even try? If its just for looks, its a waste of money and I see absolutely no functionality in lowering an XJ except the select few that have turned them into drag SUVs.
