Have you ever thought of a IFS IRS setup I know this (independent) isnt welcome here but I think its useful in two occasions Street setup or Rally setup. I thought of doing it but I still lack a lot of experience and cash.
i Thought of an IFS from a KJ
and an IRS from an old JAG "XJ" :laugh: uses a Dana 44 the whole IRS is bolted instead of the leaf springs with modifications can be found on eBay rare though !!

Well, the built-up of the suspension is 90% finished.
All I need to do now ;
  1. Fabricate Mounting for REAR Sway-Bar (Indonesian XJ do not come with rear sway-bar)
  2. Shorten the arm for the front sway-bar
  3. Lower the REAR another 1 inch
  4. Lower the FRONT another 1 inch
  5. Fine-Tune the COILS on Upper and Lower Coils (Front and Rear). I'll Post up the Coil Rate later-on.
  6. Take of the AXLE (Front and Rear) and have it paint in spray booth in METALLIC SILVER and put in OVEN (for durability)
  7. Take of the ARMS (Front and Rear, Upper and Lower) and have it paint in spray booth in GLOSSY RED / ORANGE and put in OVEN (for durability)
  8. Re-paint everything on the XJ in its original color
  9. Re-Assemble everything
  10. Put Stickers for PHOTO SHOOT Session (Indonesian JIP Magazine)
    1. NAXJA
    2. AW SHIFTING
    3. WALKER EVANS RACING
    4. JIP - Indonesian ONLY Jeep Magazine-
  11. Anything else that I might forgot ???
