I'm a year into running my RE 5 inch lift. The XJ is really straight to have 250,000 miles and many easy trails under its belt. I was at Tellico this weekend, and really gave the springs a flex workout.
Do all XJ that are wheeled sound as bad as mine? The unibody creaks (naturally), but I also have steering creaks related to the track bar, a door pop from where the door is coming loose at the hinges, and I can hear the springs rubbing the "frame" part of the unibody at full flex.
I'm used to a CJ and the full frame seperates me from all those noises. In the XJ, I expect more sounds, but I'm mostly concerned about the springs rubbing. Is that Typical with the RE 5.5 kits?
Just out of curiosity, on a scale of 1-10... how noisy is your XJ's suspension, body, loose parts sonds while you are wheeling?
