X2. I haven't personally heard of their LA setup failing, but a lot of people choose to spend more on a stronger design. Most of their stuff, however, is fantastic. I'm a huge fan of their double shear track bar in particular.

I love it. Combine great performance with a bad *** warranty. But some will say its junk and others will say they love it.

Yeah the track bar is awesome. Beefy and works awesome

I am about to lift my xj with ZJ coils w/ spacer and XJ/XJ bastard pack. Looking for a little over 2". My question is will I need shims? Will shims replace a t case drop? Its a 98. Also is anyone running 235/85r16 on a 3" lift. I think with a little trimming I will be fine with only a 2" lift. Thoughts?

I am looking at buying the JCR stage 2 sliders while they are offering 10% off. Does anyone know if their price of $268 is for just one slider or a pair? I can't tell from their website.

Thank you for taking the time out to answer my question.

No the ones I got are just a generic mud tire pattern and I only need 2 and I'm around 300 on my budget I would wait but I severely need two tires
