Yo as most of u no i had a 01 60th an. ed. XJ that i built. well it had some rust issues in the floors, so for fun i put it on CL listed for 7k, well i got a call and the guy offered 6800 so i took it...

so i went out and bought a 00 Red XJ, 158k miles, D30/8.25. interior is super clean, paint was ok, has some scratches but oh well i gonna wheel it. and a minor dent on the front panel that ill get out. cracked windshield, saggy suspension, and brand new 235 falkon zein tires. paid $3996 with tax.

after the first weekend of owning it, got it a little dirty :2thumbsup:

so that left me 2800 to play with. so i bought a head for my dirt bike lol so that left me 2100.... SOOO i bought a 4.5" RC n2.0 x-series lift and Motive 4.56 gears :2thumbsup: with a PORC sye.
started the install on 10/23/11

thanks! im still confused on the LCA they are buggin me idk how its gonna flex?

 

[sega2010]

I'm honestly a little confused on what you mean by it being close to the shock mount. Pictures would help.

the LCA bolts right under the lower shock mount (the 2 holes) well the LCA is only about .5' below it.

like this...

i dont c how its gonna flex good considering the LCA will bottom out on the shock mount pretty easy?????

 

[sega2010]

Ah I see what your saying. Not real sure either. Maybe its made to give you more droop than lift in the axle if you know what I'm saying.

no, its gonna bottom out on droop... uptravel will be fine. but dropp its gonna hit the shock mounts... figure then that tire does down, the acle is gonna shift down, cause the arm to increase its angle, and its gonna hit the shock mount. get what i mean? i know lots of lifts have straight arms but its just confusing the hell outa me...

 

[OneW1ckedXJ]

Did the kit come with drop brackets for the control arms?

 

[Spokes]

Nope it's the RC 4.5" n2.0 x-series
