Oh yea im just doing some shackles from a dodge truck in the jy and some coil spacers. If you dont have a trackbar yet youd prob want one of those and brakelines but thats really all you might need that didnt come with a 3.5. That and a sye eventually

The sye is the problem because i will then need an axle with the sye and the sye for 242 is sold here for 300$ and an axle for 850$ plus the spacers and the shackles for 250$ that a new suspension I already have RE track bar but they told me that if i want to go higher i will need the trackbar bracket from RE. that means another 160$! more than 1200$ to add 1 inch......

Wat kind of axle? Cant pull one out of a junkyard? And you can get a rc trackbar for 4.5 for like 100 or just drill a new hole for the one you have now to relocate it

Oh gotcha but idk if you look them up you can find them on ebay ever so often. Or google them, there was a jeep guy on another forum that made them. And theres a thread on here about junkyard parts that will work on the xj. Shackles from a mid 90's dodge truck wi give about 1.5" lift and luckily the jy is right down the road

I really can't understand what hack n tap means? I also have another problem my axles are from tj or zj and the front Dana 30 needs camber bolts but the other end on the frame needs camber bolts too...
