Ok heres the delima. My XJ is way to tall (feel free to bash!) and the COG is killing me on simple trails here in Florida. I recently did a trip to Hardrock in Ocala which has some varied climbs and places to twist it up a bit.
My COG killed me on a few climbs that turned mid way up. So now I am stuck in a position to take it down a notch. I currently have a 8" LA kit with 1.75 pucks up front and 1.5" shackles in the rear. I dont have a rubbing issue in the front cause Im bumpstopped properly and the rear will lift a tire before it hits body.
Now the ?
I am in the process of stretching the rear axle back 5" (waiting on driveshaft to finish) so I wont have the door side fender clearence issue from the tire anymore. My delima is how low can I go on 37's. Im looking for like 4.5-5.5" range. Ill settle for 6" if thats it but I would really like to getthis thing back down into a comfortable COG range so I dont have the issues I had at Hardrock. I have a trip planned late in the year to Tellico and I dont want to experience the same hassles I had here in Florida!
