Ok so I on the charts I've been looking at they say the lenght for the upper control arms is the same for stock all the way up to 4.5". My lift is 4.5" and I have brand new adjustable uppers for it but I'm wondering if its worth it. Will they help me at all??

Duratracs are freaking sweet 
I ran the 33x12.5x15s on my 3" for a month til she rolled twice. Rain, snow, pavement, dirt, grass...they work. I didn't get to mud in them, but I've heard good things there, too. I was doing 65 on an unplowed highway while i was home in Cleveland, and I saw other trucks (pickups and off-road vehicles) pulled over. I had no problem.

Waiting for the insurance company to give me a number. Then i'm gonna argue about the value of my parts. then we're gonna argue about a buyback price. Tires are still good (except the left rear), but I gotta wait and see what happens.

K so I know everyone on here isnt for the leafed front buuut, I read somewhere that if I used wrangler stock leafs on the front of my xj that itll give me about 4inchss of lift? Is that true? I cant find where I read it, I was wondering if anyone knew what leafs to use on the front to get about 5.4" of lift? I figure im going to use chevy or extended shackles, so really I only need to gwt 3.5 or 4" inches of lift. Does anyone know what stock leafs to use to that are short an strong to do the lift?

I've seen the 4-leaf mod done on a couple XJs. I would rather co 4-coil, personally, but to each his own...as long as the OP understands what he's trying to do.

Anyone with jks shackles, the boomerang ones, how much lift are you getting? I know they list as an inch but I read some posts on naxja claiming they only got .5-.75" out of them.
