does it rub when you turn? i would've thought it was the BS in the rims now at 3.75 will stick out further and therefore interfere with the rear bottom bit, as it should clear with stock BS. I never had it rub there on stock rims 31s and 2.5" lift. i have 4.5" lift now with stock rims 31s...

have had a similar experience. have the 3" BD with add-a-leaf. Not that the stiff ride bothered me so much, it was that it sagged and my rear is almost at stock height, most likely due to the stock springs being worn now. The kit really only provides a 2-2.5" lift too.

Hey mate, IMO the reputation of the University can depend on the subject of study. Deakin is a good Uni...which campus are you looking at? There are a few around. Ive studied at La Trobe (BSc, Hons) and Melbourne Uni (MSc, PhD). Melb uni is among the top in the world and rates with the likes of...

a great timely post...my bushings on my track bar are also screwed (and have front end clunck and vibes at +100km/h). my mech suggested that I just get new bushings fitted now (cheaper fix than new track bar), however, I eventually want to go taller and thinking about a new adjustable track bar...

ive got the BD 3" kit (coils, LCAs, AAL). After settling, really sits at about 2.5". I currently run 31s on stock rims with no trimming and discos. I have also extended bump stops becuase of some inner guard fouling at full flex.

x2 that was after I changed fluid twice (using Mopar clear). Mine shat itself after 100,000Km. Sounded premtaure to me, but there was no leaks etc. Only running 31s.

i have this one http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoRearDiscs1.htm

i didnt have to do this for my 96. just drilled the appropriate holes and fitted, no relocation...maybe the design has changed. http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSnorkelInstall1.htm

Phew - Thanks Woody, my heart rate just reduced with relief. I suspected (or hoped) something like that may have happened, but wasn't sure, esp. when the instruction manual provided listed the old part number (obviously old print).

Hi guys, Just picked up a D30 truetrack for the front to suit 4.11s. Im a little confused becuase according with the catolgues the model number should be: 912A314 however, on the box it is 912A585 and Dana 30 truetrack labelled. I cannot find verification if this is the same diff or even...

do those wheel spacers effect wheel bearings or axles (ie increase wear and tear)? thx

This is a good point, which is why i would go the tru-trac, to not compromise good street manners in full-time. Spose this would depend on how much to you use the full-time option?

what about steering box? mine cluncked cos bits and pieces was all lose (sorry for the techincal talk)

Re: Hello [username] Thanks, and a comment. now im think im over the shock, i'll introduce myself. Im Dan and have a 96 XJ sport....no shit!!! LOL and from australia mods so far: 3" black diamond lift (shocks, springs lower ca's), custom rock rails, 31s simex, ARB bar, snorkel...
