Do I like the fact I had to mod them? No, but it's what I had to do to make them work.

They are well made. Try adjusting them down before install. Maybe I got an oddball set. At least you know ahead of time. Won't take long to mod as I did, but if you don't wanna deal with it you can send 'em back, they've been great about potential returns. You'll just be out the $7 to ship em back.

I would think so, and your SYE/CV Driveshaft setup will accomodate it

Hey guys, I just bought a '98 XJ and it will be my daily driver but...
I still want it to look good!
So I was looking for either a 3'' Skyjacker kit OR Rubicon Express
The thing is I want something complete and not say after... maybe I should of bought the bigger kit.
I already have a Jeep TJ on 37 with a total of 7.5" lift on it, so I'm not really looking on going offroading that much with the Cherokee... more maybe fishing and camping etc etc
But I would like something nice and complete... don't want to go 4'' because I'll need a SYE and drivings probably right?
So I need your advice PLEASE!!!
Thanks to you all

you can get a 3" kit from zone and add on links, discos, LCAs, nitro shocks, and make it 100% complete to your door... it will be closer to $1k once you do, but you'll have everything you need (with the exception of extended brake lines and adjustable track bar) in a quality kit from a trusted manufacturer.
Or a kit from Rubicon Express http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Suspen...n=R%2fERE6030T which is a little more complete, but will still leaving you to add on a couple of things...
Pretty much any kit you pick up, there's going to be some add-ons that you'll need or want... but the RE kit and Zone kit are going to give you all or most of what you NEED from the get-go.
Use this infograph as a guide for what else you'll need, but if you have a TJ on 37's, I'm thinking you probably already have a good general idea.

Interesting arms. Any real world experience from people here? Seems like a lot of misalignment at rest

Not saying everything that JKS has the Midas touch, but they generally do things right. They sure did their trac bars and discos right.

No problem. There are several great choices for disconnects out there. The Rusty's is adjustable in length, presumably so it will fit several models and/or lift heights. Adjustability is not necessary if the links/disconnects are made correctly for your specific application. That being said, upon installation I noticed the sway bar angle was higher than the instructions specified for my model. Easy, right? They're adjustable. Well, I couldn't adjust them down enough to be correct. See photo 1. You'll see in the photos the disconnects are made of three main parts. Two ends and a threaded adjuster between them. The threaded adjuster was too long and bottomed out in the bore of each end with about 3/8 of threads to go, on both ends. I took the ends off the threaded adjuster, cut about 1/2" off both ends, then cleaned up the cut threads. Now they adjust all the way down, correct length for the desired sway bar position. See photo 2. I still want to cut the black bracket at the top down some and redrill/tap the pin holes to get about another 1/2" out of them, but this will work for now.
Do I like the fact I had to mod them? No, but it's what I had to do to make them work.

Those look really nice you should see what I had to do to mine lol slice dice and weld (my rough country adjustables couldn't adjust enough for extended perches

Hack n' tap from iron rock, cheap and effective. You can run your front shaft in the rear another benefit is you only need 1 spare shaft instead of 2
I've been running this for a few years now, really happy with its quality, it's held up nice. Doesn't break the bank either.
