Ok Gang,
I posted this on the other forum but I've always been under the impression that NAZJA is where the EXPERTS, Pro's, and O.G's go to share their great knowledge. I have learned an immense amount of information on here this past several months from amazing posts from back in the day. I posted a couple threads recently and really didn't get much help from active member. I have put alot of thought, time, and money into this and it's all because of what I have learned on this forum. I promise you though went my build thread is finished it will be the holy grail of threads. :laugh:
I have so mch more planned for her this spring in summer (supercharger)
I am in no way one of those experts but i could use your expertise more than ever and could use as much help from members on here as possible.
In 2 days I start my “Frankenstein” build thread for my 2001 xj and I could really use everyones help!
I am replacing both the entire front and rear suspension, lifting it 4.5” inches, replacing all the bushing, and bolts, along with a new exhaust system.
I want this thing To ride and handle nice and smooth and drive like new. Below is a list of all components I have already ordered and just want to run it by you guys to make sure I didn’t forget or miss anything.
IF ANY OF THE SPONSORS ON HERE WANT TO HELP ME OUT I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!
Here we go....
FRONT SUSPENSION
Shock Tower Grommets x8
REAR SUSPENSION
3” Inch Rear Leaf Springs Zone Off-Road
Leaf Spring and Shackle Replacement Bolts kit I ordered a set from Team Cherokee but may go in another direction bc I’ve read several people having issues with them fitting and seating properly. Does anybody know why?
U-Bolts-for Dana 35
1-1.5” Inch Shackle Relocation Brackets Using existing OEM stock shackles
Rear ShocksBlisten 5100 part #33-066868
Rear Shock tower Grommets x8
4” inch Rear Bump Stops x2
Front and Rear Extended Break Lines
EXHAUST Replacing everything from the front pipe to the tailpipe. Will be having them welded.
Front-pipe BRExhuast Mandrel Bent Front Pipe #102-8920 @ auto Zone. *Not sure what flanges and gaskets to get for this front-pipe
Catalytic Converter for 3rd rear car under unibody (No O2 sensor) bc my rusted and broke off from front pipe.
Magna Flow Universal OEM Grade Federal / EPA Compliant (no 02 senor bc its the rear cat on CA emissions 01 xj Part #51205
Check this one out bc its confusing. Bought it on Amazon.
02 Senor (downstream pre-cat) NGK # 23099 (same as NTK) throwing a p.0158 code “Bank 2, Sensor 2”. Looked under the good and the sensor is completely missing. Need to replace.
Front exhaust Studs Pretty sure these are the studs I need to attach the front pipe to the manifold
Tailpipe and Muffler-Flowmaster Super 44 with Mandrel Bent tail-pipe Both 2.5” O.D
2.5” Extension Pipe Walker Part #52356 This is for the +/- 8” gap between the cat and the muffler to make the tailpipe even and flush with the rear bumper. Otherwise, it would be about 8” too short. Worried about this rusting too fast. Is there a better-quality steel extension pipe I can use?
*Still looking for an exhaust tip. Was going to open it up with a 3” tip but worried about clearance issues.
UNDER THE HOOD
TIRES AND WHEELS
33x12.50x15 (what’s the other sizes that are comparable?)
***TBD****
That should bring me to 4” in the front and 4.5” inches in the rear.
what do you guys think? Am I missing anything?
I didn't buy transfer case drop or SYE yet bc I wasn't sure if I'd even need it when considering that I will be installing re-location brackets for both the front (control arm drop bracket) and rear (Shackle Relocation Bracket) for a to get a better angle.
Also, I didn't get a
