So I started a build on the girlfriend's XJ, going to go custom longarm in front and piece together some components to make it happen. I figured I'd throw up a build thread for you all to see this time around. Let me know what you think as it progresses!
I started out with this last Saturday...
Her 2001 Cherokee that I bought her last Christmas, completely stock:
and then here is the pile of parts I ordered for her, along with some of the steel plates I started cutting for the custom stuff:
I got a bunch of different parts from different companies, here's a list off the top of my head...
I think that sounds like most everything. I'm going 4.5" front springs, then 2.5" rear springs with a longer rear shackle and taller spring perches to bring the rear up to the 4.5" height as well. Hopefully it all works out.
