This is great! you guys have helped out so much. You have no idea how long I searched the internet for those control arm specs. i could only find them for xj. thank you so much, I was thrilled to see them listed. Ta2tony, I can't get a picture of the angle on the coil unless i'm really behind the wheel. it just won't show the curve. I think all measurements considered, and correct me if I'm wrong. The drop brackets are designed for use with stock control arms. the ones we have are actually about half an inch longer. I don't know why it was set up that way. It's how we bought it. right now it pulls the axle back, but I think once we remove the current spacers and put the 3 inch ones on it will actually level out to the specifications listed above. I don't know. trial and error I guess. My fiance is kind of explaining this as we go, although I had basic knowlege of this from working at a parts store for many years I had no idea it could get this complicated once lifts are involved. Learning a lot! thank you guys.

So I have a 4.5 inch rough country short arm lift I just got 33x12.5 Baja claws and it looks like I won't be able to flex much. Can a small body lift fix this?? If so how big of a body lift and what should I look for if I wanna just peice it together and not buy a whole kit

Yea I dropped the case an inch and shimmed the rear axle 4* I still have FAINT vibes. I need to install an sye. I don't think the 242 is any more susceptible to vibrations than the 231. What year is your xj? 96 and newer are much more susceptible to vibes than 95 and earlier.

I have a 98 Cherokee. The previous owner put 2 inch lift blocks in the rear and hockey pucks in the front. The rear springs are sagging badly so I thought I would replace the rear springs with 2 1/2 inch lift leafs. I ordered the pro comp 53111 springs and plan to put them on tomorrow. Today I read those will give a Cherokee 4 inches of lift. Has anyone used these and what were your results. Thanks.
