Hey guys just got back from the pull a part in Cahrlotte... there's a red XJ (I think it's an 87) with a complete D44 in the back of the lot. I just didn't have time today to pull it. They want $113 for it...

i ran mine the same way, but used scraps of hose (small dia heater hose?) to keep from chafing... it's been that way for a year or so with no issues.

could be a bad ground. had the same issue a couple weeks ago, idled fine but as soon as i put it in drive it would immediately die.

don't be scared of the "older" version. the 4.0/auto is a 300k mile combo... i'm running a '95 that i'm into for ~$5k including lift, tires, winch, and bumbers. look for a flat bottom on the 8.25, and junkyard grand cherokee seats fit into my xj with very little alteration.

is that 4.5" of lift plus a 2" spacer? i'd think 6.5" would be plenty not to rub... depends on the wheel. fab up some extended bump stops if you don't want to trim a whole lot... i just kept cutting.

i'm running 33's on my 95 (really about 32.5's) with 3 inch coils, 1.75 inch spacers, and fairly substantial trimming. it still rubs at full stuff, more so in the rear (4" total rear lift). not 100% sure on the newer body style... but can't be very different. my advice, if you have your mind set...

nate's has sliders now?

i bought a front and rear set from nate's 4x4 for my 95... super stout. i had a set of bulletproof bumpers on a tj, these are just as solid, and at a fraction of the price i paid for the bulletproof. i only paid like 600 bucks for both including shipping. took a while to get them though...
