I can assure you they are not, especially looking at all their accomplishments. To take a leaf out is not an ideal option. The 3.5 RE leafs are going to be replaced with BDS leafs. The NEW RE leafs will be put up for sale.

It will have disco's. I am surprised that it would matter. The XJ will be a daily driver with a 3,5" RE super ride lift and Traxus MT 31" tires.

Wouldn't it cause some funny things to happen if I were in a curve and on ice and I put some power on? I live on a mountain with a steep hill and with lots of curvey unlevel dirt/gravel roads and we do get ice storms here in NW Arkansas. Ice and snow is an issue in the winter.

I am replacing the rear to a 8.8 which is going to have an Auburn Ected. Maybe the best $olution is to put an Auburn in the front now, instead of later and don't spend money on the regearing. I have been reading the threads on front lockers and one issue came up regarding handling on ice. I...

I am trying to sort out which carrier I need to get to regear the D30 3.07 front to 4.10. The options and brands are kind of overwhelming to me. At some point I want to put a locker in once I have decided which one. Right now I just need to get the regearing done and am ready to order the parts...

Very good! Thanks alot!

Wow! Teach me which part of the numbers says this? Is there a site that can tell me more about these codes?

Can someone tell me what the gearing is in this axle? Here is what is on the tag: 8953003516 8 08 605323-1 Thanks.

I just got a D44 axle that I want to rebuild. It came from a '87 XJ. Something looked funny to me, so I got the straight edge out. Come to find out that the axle is straight, in the up and down fashion, but when I put it on top I can see that the axle housing tube is swept forward by at least a...

I am checking what would be involved in turning our '88 XJ 5 speed into an allwheel drive. Is it as simple as swapping the NP231 case to a NP242? I live in the Ozarks and we have lots of hilly curve gravel roads and get snow and ice in the winter. All our other cars are allwheel drive and I have...

Count me in, I am interested in the lower doors and quarter panels for our '88 XJ 4 door. I like the smooth look the best.

Is this going to be a group buy?

I had ordered a Rubicon 1600 Track bar, for our '88 XJ, that is going to be lifted with a RE 3.5" super ride. The company I ordered it from, send me one made by Superlift instead, for the same application, should I keep it, or send it back for the RE. bar? Is the quality the same?

Yes I am doing front and rear JKS BPE. How it is going together, I don't know yet but will do my research and will be prepared for all the trouble that may come my way. Sorry I can't help you with advice regarding these(yet). I intend to put at least 31" tires on.

Thanks, I figured the 4" Bilstein would be the choice since I have read these reports that the 3.5 lift turns out to be more than 4". I want to do the lift in one day with the help of my mechanic. I am trying to get all the parts together and take it to the shop and hope to drive out that same...
