Hello all. Id like to start off by saying thank you for all the info you provide here on this site for all of us XJ owners....It helped me out tremendously threw out the years....
Ive done some research online now for awhile since buying my new to me 93 xj sport and thought id try out this posting stuff with some questions i have that im not 100% on...
First ill start off by giving you the info on the jeep...As stated earlier its a 93 sport, 4.0, blue, auto, 231j x-case, 4x4, chrysler 8.25, 4 door, 56,000km.....THATS NOT A TYPO..56,000km:woohoo:
Worked done to date..New brakes all around, greased slip yoke, tightened flex plate(1/4 turn
), bedlined from rear seat back, new IAC sensor........
My questions are based on a 4.5inch Rubicon Express lift(with leaf pack) i bought used(one summer use):spin1:
1-Do i really need a SYE kit for this lift?? Or can i use this...( i cant seem to post a pic from my computer pics). ill describe it the best i can.. its a 231j x-case i found at my buddys shop laying around but has a different output shaft then my 231j. Seems to have a factory looking SYE shaft and a big balancer disk on it with rubber in the center of it(why i think its a balancer of some sort). wondering if i can just use the tail off of that x-case and put it on my 231j case.
2-Do i need to do transfer-case drop and axle shims(if yes,what degree shims do i order
3-Can i use my existing DS with this lift? or with that other tail from the doner x-case i tried describing.....
4- Am i missing something for the front end of this lift that didnt come with the original kit that i need to buy to make it work?
Thanks guys for all your help in advance. I know its a long first post and ill try to keep the others shorter:cheers:
