Question: Is there a reason you're wanting to run 35's?

Riding in Jennifer's feels like the whole thing is sitting way too high because of center of gravity. Maybe I'm just being a wuss here, but.....

It does look damn good on the 35's with the 6.5" lift though....LOL
 
I've ran 33's the last few years and figure its tiem to go up a little, get a little more ground clearance. Some really good stuff here, thanks guys.

All this info is great, but does me no good if I don't have a place to install it and some one to help me out. I can drive a few hours to someones place if need be. I have a trailer I can pull behind the jeep with all the parts in it.
 
Not sure why I didn't think of this before...but I have a place to work on my rig...and anyone else that needs a place. My company has a 30,000 sq ft warehouse in Carrollton, that I have full access to after hours and on the weekends. I probably have room for 20 jeeps we could have a huge wrenching party. This may come in real handy when it starts to rain. I would be willing to host a wrenching party for a weekend about every 6 weeks or so if need be.
 
This may be a bit late, However I saw a killer set of axles a $$ front and a 9" rear with 4.56s and spools. Massive gusseted and nice lookin. With a custom 4 link, coils, the bomb. The true upside is for the price of the axles $4600 I believe, you'd get a runnin xj on the. Dinnisreddish, (I think, hope I spelled it right) posted them on the for sale site. For the price of axles, swap time and p.i.a. factor, I would buy it. You said 5$k freed up. 4600 and a road trip would be on. I'm sure people will tell you he's cool, and honest, right Ian? Hell, they even come with 5 37x17 Krawlers, can I get a hubba hubba

That sounds like a plane! :greensmok
 
I would love to have it. I always read the, it's better if you build your own, and laugh. Build his axles and suspension for 4600 and I'll be impressed, (that includes time). The heep I run is my dd sittin on bfg 35x12.5 with the 8.25 and dana up front, the ac works!! It's a beater and in parts alone it's hittin 3 grand or so. Bosco could keep his xj as is, and trail the wheels off Dennis's. I would like to see the price breakdown on it, without time I'd say 6 to 8 grand. You have the geometry set up right, spend the time playin, and tinkering, not plannin and wrenchin, road trip to Dennis's, if you have 5 large to spend and get his you'll have 400$ or so to buy all of us (your extended, slightly deranged xj family) a drink!
 
you could spend a ton of money or you can spend what you nee to spend... depends on you really. Yes a beefy 44 with all the tasty vittles is great.
I use a GM14B shave 2.5" off the case (which yields 1/4" more clearance than the 44) for my rear. It came with a 4.56 no slip to boot. if you can spend less than the $300 it took to make mine and get something stronger (even from dynatrax) buy it! unsprung weight has it advantages. I hit our local Barnwell mountain in 2WD on all the trails without too much trouble just applying gas to that big rear.
IMO save your money and buy a nice front, then build a big rear that you know you will not break (and if you do it will never cost more than $50 to fix)

What do I know? I just build solid stuff.
