At least you have it in your yard so you can find out for sure and not need to spend money on parts that may or may not work

Yea easily lol I mean assuming the width isn't too far off and you probably have to cut / weld new perches but yea solid axle swaps are easy

What wheels do I need to run 36x12.50x15 TSLs? Can I just use the stock wheels or would there be to much rubbing? I plan on cutting my fenders like mattphilips98 here on the forum just because I like how beasty it looks and we would be the only two XJs in town with that cut.

I recently bought some 4.5in rough country leaf packs for my 01xj. But they look to be shorter than my stock springs. Anyone else have any experience with installing these? Will they work or did I get the wrong leaf packs? Thanks in advance...

There are a ton of complaints and threads about those leaf packs being too short and giving a terrible shackle angle.

I was thinking of going with a shackle relocation kit here soon along with the new springs. I know there's a lot of peeps who hate and love RC. Majority of people I talked with liked them. I was on a budget. I wanted 4.5in but needed the sye and driveline. So I bought the package deal for about $1100. I got the x-series kit. Guess well see how it goes. I used tax money. The wife told me what I could spend so this is what I ended up with for the money before she changed her mind. Chances are if I tried to save up to a better lift the money would of got spent before so I took no chance. Lol.
