s-10 blazer packs worked great for me. '96 up will net around 2.5 inches. Pre '95 will put you more around 4. I would order a complete kit with shocks, lower controll arms, and an ad-a-leaf. Maybe the black diamond kit. Sell the add-a-leaf and throw in some s-10 blazer springs. It would be...

Looks good!

crossover looks the way to go... i have found a set of machined knuckles. are you guys having to run them with spacers? or will a regular knuckle do the job? it looks like I am back on track with the project... well mostly :) how are you guys finding the manners on the road? i figure that...

I absolutely *love* this for a short lift. I have been running this for about a year and it flexes great. I actually have some zj v8 springs, spacers, and custom leaf/block combo for sale if you are interested... pm me if you are.

cool... thanks for the input man.

well... enough of me sounding like a 'tard... going with crossover from sky manufacturing and gearing the front with 4.56's to match the rear I have found. anyone run a welded front with manual hubs? also anyone have any input on rotating the pinion up and turning the knuckles? just grind...

fiar enough... thanks for the info. how does one of these setups ride on the street? (w/ good steering) how about something like this? I have abuddy with a cj that runs something super similar to this.... he just doesn't have as steep of a draglink angle.

now.... if I wanted to use my superlift trac bar could I just make sure it is parallel to the draglink and that take care of that? don't really wan't a trac bar, but I am doing this on a super tight budget... I will probably go full high steer sometime in the future...

brett... what was the problem? bump steer? I have been considering going with the stock waggy steering for a while....

going this afternoon to get the waggy.... I will snap some pics w/ my cameraphone when I get back. anything wrong with just welding some 4.5 inch angle to the front of the frame rails to put the shackle hangers on? I could just bolt my bumper to that.

How is the steering on-road with that setup.... It would seem like their would be some pretty serious bump steer with that much of a difference of your angles (between draglink and trac bar). Did you feel that a trac bar was an absolute necessity? I have been considering going with an inverted...

thanks bro.

Brett...... Howd it do w/ just basic crossover? That is probably the way I am going to try and go.... thinking of using stock waggy leaves... I have a bunch of extra leaves sitting around to garage to tune the front pack. how much can you get w/ stock leaves? any idea? havn't got the...

just thought I would post I am getting a killer deal on a wagoneer monday... 44 front 20 rear.... going to swap to the xj and go leaves front and rear.... if anyone has any good input on steering etc i would appreciate it... thanks... scotty

I run, and like, tj flares. They are a pain in the a$$ to trim and make look good. Mine look freaking awsome from about 15 feet, but up close they are hard to get super tight. The problem is with the fact that the tj's are flat on the sides and the xj's are curved.... If I was going to go...
