Definitely NOT a flat lander, my group does some pretty wild stuff out here in the Ca desert. We go to Death Valley national park all the time. Some really rough trails out there. So I am building this thing to go with the group. Lol sounds like ill do 31's for now then. The 30's I have look ridiculous with this new lift. Lol

Figures. I need to decide on what lift Im gonna go with. I have a full 3.5 lift. And also havr lca drop brackets incase I go higher. I have basically everythimg needed sitting in my garage short of a sye and gears to go from a 3.5 -5.5 lift. Might stick the 3.5 on run some 30s than go higher the first time Im stuck between rocks and yelling at the wife telling her that twig of a tree wont work to winch me out... than she wont be so pissed when I get a sye and axles to go to 5.5. Hmmm I like that plan lmao.

Hell yeah they do but I wont run a xj on anything higher than 31s without new to me axles. Plus sye. Than ill want long arms.

This was my favorite jeep ive had. Got it with a incomplete 4.3 vortec in it. Finished the swap. And it had excellent gas mileage plus more than enough power to get through anything.
6.5 long arm and 33s.

I want to rebuild It with my newest jeep but keep telling myself I dont lol. I think my wifes jeep will be the candidate for the next 4.3 swap.
