Technical Advice and Questions / Re: lift and tires for 89 xj?
« on: November 10, 2008, 06:10:53 pm »
got 6.5 total on my 91 xj with the older xj s you dont need a sye the tcase comes with a longer sturdier tail shaft to prevent the wobble. go with a rough country you can get a 4.5 for less than most others 4"    starting with an xj but the book HIGH PERFORMANCE JEEP CHEROKEE XJ BUILDERS GUIDE by eric zappe lots of info. and 33's will fit with  a little trimming got bushwackers on mine and can fit 35's with a light rub.   good luck need more of us BIG jeeps out there.

are they the spring pack straps? same ones on both sides? are they split or open most come from factory open. they work like a big staple and wrap around.

brakes out of a grand cherokee w disc, 8.25 if you can but get everything you can  the ebrake hookup is a little tricky though going to save this upgrade till spring.

first things first is it going in the 89 xj? if yes a sye is not required because they come with a more solid tailshaft on the tcase thats why i dont run one. i have 6.5 total lift and no problems or wobbles even at 75. and the d35 dshaft will bolt right up to 8.25 did this one myself. you will need larger 3 inch ubolts for the swap. the 4.10 would be fine and easier to find boneyard style 4cyl came stock with them. 4" lift will work for 33s but you will rub on hard drop ins (smashed the fender at jeep show this yr on the course when the tire pushed up in, hence the 2 more in)     and last but not least BUY THE BOOK.

amazon 14.95 new through a-1 books       and i know its rebuild yet but if you decide on lockers spend the money and go ECTED it makes a huge  difference in street drivability over a traditional  lock right/trutrac type locker    but as its been said"if you cant drive in the first place a locker aint gonna help"

35s hold the tarp down over the shingles, cats sleep in the 31s, and the tractor tires are for the dog house i found a use for them just waiting for the pics. definately worth keeping my hillbilly card over.   lol       not too mention the topper for a truck i dont have that the kids use for a playhouse.
