Hey all,

My name is Eric and I have an 89 XJ Pioneer that my dad and I are slowly turning into the ultimate 4 wheeler (that can also drive to the trails).

4.5" RE Kit, SYE, CV Driveshaft
2" spacers front and rear
33x12.50 BFG mud buddies
D30 (Front) with Detroit EZ locker
8.25" (Rear) with Detroit locker
Dynomax cat back exhaust...

Future mods (hopefully as soon as this summer):
Rear 4 Link.. (any tips or comments would be appreciated)
beefier axles w/ gears and some armor

Will post pics soon when I get a hold of them.

Theres alot of people that will tell you a rear 4 link is not worth the money. You can get great performance out of rear leafs and it also will keep you a little more stable.

True dat! Rear leafs set up right (95% of Cherokee owners never get them set up right) will flex like crazy, ride good, and just work.

I'm sure they can, but who's to say that a rear 4 link set up right won't flex even more?

I just started looking at a rear 4 link for my XJ and I haven't really come across anything too negative. I haven't really come across much at all actually, so if you have any threads or anything about a rear 4 link it would be greatly appreciated :spin3:

So it must be true.

Why did you ask for input if you already have your mind made up and are unwilling to listen?

:dunno:

They will flex more, but more flex isn't always what you want. There are a lot of TJ owners who have swapped their rear coils for leafs because of the stability they give.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at, but here's just one pic I've got laying around:

im not buying in to it. i have built alot of rigs over the years and like the saying goes "once you have run a linked set up you will never go back"

think real hard about what you wrote............................ they have to run leafs, its in the rules to run that class

unless you have the opertunity to compair leafs to links. IE own and run both, there would not be all this nonsense being typed.
 
ive seen alot of leaves flex just as good as coils and links. plenty of them. in my mind there is nothing wrong with leaves. besides thay are alot simpler.

The second one is definitely really old but still a good shot (thanks John), but the first is fairly recent.
