Well, guys. After putting all this time, money and effort into the XJ and being so excited to get it out on the trails, it was stolen from my house last night. License plate #: 3RRL442 If you guys have any info or see any of its parts for sale, please call Riverside Police Department. Case #...

Thanks for the input! I'll go ahead and get those ordered. I'll need an adapter for the top of those, correct? I recall reading that the 7100s have eye mounts on both ends, but I could be wrong. Also, with a compressed measurement of 19" in the rear, will an 18" shock work for the rear as well...

Just went out and took some static measurements: Front Bumpstop to bumpstop pad: 7.25” Shock: 25.25” Rear Bumpstop to bumpstop pad: 9.75” Shock: 24.00” This does not take bumpstop compression into account, or the few inches of bumpstop that need to be added to keep the tire away from the...

Which measurement is it that looks off? I measured from the mounting points of the shock top and bottom. I'll go out and take that static measurement in a bit. Although when I measured on the forklift, I needed to add about 4 more inches of bump stop from what it currently has front and rear. I...

Sorry for the long absence guys. Finally got the SYE installed along with a Tom Woods driveshaft. I also went ahead and installed new 6.5" BDS coil springs and acos spacers in case I add a winch/bumper in the future, and also removed the add a leaf from the rear. I got the jeep up on a forklift...

Thanks for all of the input, guys. Already digging the sense of community on this forum. I had already ordered a set of 6.5" BDS springs before reading your guys' responses. But worst case scenario, I'll return them if I don't need them. I'm planning on removing that add-a-leaf as well. I also...

Thanks! I won't be able to make it this weekend as I'll be out of town. But I'd definitely be interested in going on some runs with you guys once I get everything dialed in! I just ordered the new springs today, so I should be able to take measurements for the new driveshafts and shocks shortly...

Hey there, everyone. New to the forum. Somewhat new to XJ's. I've worked on hot rods and have owned a bronco in the past. So, I picked up this '96 about a month ago with 180,000 miles. It's in pretty good shape, but has a few things that need attention. It has an 8" Rusty's long arm lift (too...
