I never had to relocate mine but every rig is different.

As long as their the same width u should be good....I would make sure to use the xj main, then 10 main...cause it will be a lil shorter once u cit the eye off, but a good reinforcement....then just alternate what u need man...

Yep, they are the same width. I just did not know if they could be used off of a 2003 model. Most the articles I have read about the bastard packs, leafs came off 90"s models S10's.

He is down to $30 bucks now so I reckon I will jump on them even though they may sit for a while!

So I have been piecing together a lift for my 2000 xj auto 4.0 np231 from different members on the forum. I am looking for about 3'' of lift to cut down on headaches. This is also my dd. So far I have zj v8 springs, 3" spring packs, 4 shocks, and I have 2'' spacers on the way. Seeing as this is my dd I am trying to get everything I could possibly need to get this done in one day. I am going to get a t/c drop from a member who sells them here for $20 shipped. (I just need to find out who he is) Will it cause a problem to just install the t/c drop without waiting to see about vibes, then having to tear into it again? I am also going to go ahead and buy new bolts and nuts for my rear shocks. I live in NH so they are probably going to break. Besides discos, am I missing anything? I should be able to just drill a new hole for the track bar with 3'' of lift ( I think).

you should be fine with the track bar the way it is....as well the tc drop may not be needed...im running about 5"...with stock track bar, and no tc drop or sye...and no vibes, and axle pretty straight..(does need an alignment though now lol...)

So I may be ok to skip the t/c drop to start? From what I've read on here, they aren't too difficult to do, if I need it. I'm just checking to see if I'm missing something somewhere. Brake lines should also be ok with 3'' of lift.

Whats up fellas. Its another guy ooking for tires. What Im wondering is ( like everyone else ) what should I get? I just picked up this jeep and it has 35x12.5x15 SSR's on 15x8 Black Rock Crawlers on it now.

They are almost 100% shot, well around 1/8-3/16s maybe? So its going ot be time soon enough. Its still stock geared at 3.55s but Im going to get them up to 4.88s. Im kinda debating if I should get gears or tires.

So I was looking at the Km2s, but I would want something aggressive like a TSL. This isnt a DD, but a weekend toy. Any suggestions on what to get? Terrain is pretty much all. But mainly a few hills, loose gravel and mud. No huge rocks, sand or roots. Though as in many trails, it does exist.
