That's what I'm doing, too. I need an overflow from a HO to replace my new Renix pressure bottle.

91-96, maybe 97+ would work. It's not really a big deal; I can get one. I was just giving my89xj a hard time cause he was being a little ****

I appreciate everyone trying to help, though.

I just removed the flat bracket that held up the old renix pressure bottle and bout an aftermarket resivor from O'Riellys and bent the tabs on the new resivor bracket to screw into the original holes where the old flat metal bracket was located works well and was cheap.

You can fit 35's though. Just need bump stops, and to be one with the grinder. Or shears, or saw zall. Whatever

Its a 91 with the 5spd. The 3" is just going to on for like a year or 2, Cause of budget right now cant really fork out 1700 for a 4.5 right now for all the goodies just to be safe. So Im looking into tire sizes I already have the front fenders cut off from where my nasty stock flares where so That gave me another 3" in the fenders. But I dont want it to hurt the small amount of flex that Im going to be getting with the 3" lift any suggestions?

I have a 95 with a 5 speed and 4.5" of lift - no SYE, no vibes. The older XJs are much less likely to have vibes after a lift, especially with the 5 speed.

Worst case you install a TC drop - sye shouldn't be necessary.
