I have a 3" lift already with adj LCA, adjusted to 16" and adj Track Bar.
I put some 31" tires on with Cragar Soft 8's and 4" of back spacing.
They rub real bad on the front. Why is thiw? Do I need to adjust my LCA back an inch?
Is this normal?

I have a Shackle Relocation Kit still to be put on and I will put spacers on the front to level it out. Maybe another inch of lift will mitigate the problem.
I am waiting for the Tailbone to get here and put them both on together to save time and trouble. It shipped Monday so I will have to wait until they are painted and ready for instillation before I put in the coil spacers and longer bump stop.
Thanks for the input guys!

I'm finishing up my lift and installing the quick discos are the second to las thing to do. The rough country discos want me to beat out the factory axle bolt with a hammer. Is this true or do I need to find a huge star bit and turn it out?

Rancho rs 5000 ???
I recently piked up my first xj . Its a 1992 2 door has 3" rustys lift springs up fronT and generic 2 inch lift blocks in the rear .. The po replaced the front shocks jus b4 i got it with rancho rs5000 .. I added the 2 inch lift block in the rear and was wondering what a good shock choice would be .. Ive been lookin at the rancho rs5000"s to make the front and bak match but jus wanted some oppinions to what shock would be best for my lift .. And even if the rancho rs5000 are right to have on the front ??? Also price is an issue .. Not lookin to spend too much over 100 $ for a pair
