Tire pressue, When I got them fitted last month I'm sure it was 33 all round! I will reduce them tomorrow and give it a test. I will also check out steering components. I did notice some tire rubbing on the front anti roll bar break away arm, but this would only occur at slow manouvering speed...

Thanks, It's a 1996 4.0LTR LTD.

Thank you for your comments, Firstly, not done any re alignment. I had been running the stock tires for a couple of years and found no problems with wear patterns. The main problem I have found is the front end wanders alot with side winds due to the steering being very loose. This is noticable...

Hello, I have a 3.5" lift and have just fitted 30 x 9.5 General AT2's, However, last weekend took a trip from North East England to Ben Nevis in Scotland to climb the mountain. Usualy I would crouse at about 60mph but this time found it very difficult to get to 50mph, at times just 45mph. I...

I am running a 96-97 Limited, does anyone know if this was sold with a factory fitted imobiliser? I dont have the manual or any original paper work? Thanks,

I used 40mm box section, but after running for a week I found I could not engage 4low. Easy fixed by replacing the 40mm with 25mm (1") box section. Installation was done by removing seats and carpet, drilling out studs and dropping in new longer bolts through access hole. Once bolts in place...

Yes, Bilstein make these specifically for each vehicle, XJ, etc, I ordered a full leaf 3.5 front, 4.5 rear kit from RE and then asked them to supply the correct mono shocks. You can also check them out on their site catalogue, the kits are divided by vehicle. Hope this helps.

The RE mono are Bilstein's, and are mached to the lift kits. Just tell your fitting 4.5 and they will specify the shocks.

Just finished my lift, sorted the drive train rattle but same issue, SS exhaust rattleing against RE 4.5" springs. NOT going to cut that, will try to relocate the rear exhaust bracket. Or add some rubber mounting to move it towards the center.

From the second picture, it looks like you have bolted the spring direct to the frame mount (The bit thats welded to the chasis) and not used shackles, if you still have the original springs check to see if the shackles are still attached? If this is the case, then when you put the shackles on...

Have you tried turning the bolt around to face the other way?

Just in the process of lifting my XJ, 3.5" RE on front, 4.5" on rear. Not got new rubber yet but i was thinking about re gearing. But after the following statement i'm a bit confused! the d35 is just an inferior axle especially for us offroad enthuiasts who put bigger tires on which cause...

Thanks for the advice, Been trying to source kits over here, (UK), for the past couple of weeks, as well as thinking about getting them shipped. Well, managed to locate a supplier who can do the RE kits, so I'm going for the 3.5" front and 4.5" on the back to offset the drop from the tank...

Hello, Just joined, and already found lots of helpfull info. The project i am about to start is a lift for my XJ. But i have found it difficult sourcing the parts in the UK. The link below seems to be the way to go, but still not sure about the 4" or 5"? I have a LPG conversion, and the extra...
