hi all,
finally got my XJ reasonably together and all. Would like to give it a really subtle boost just for tire clearance (just got a set of 235/75 ATs to replace generic AS's that were on it when I got it) and appearance without going too nuts. I should be getting a pair of MJ shackles this weekend. I am thinking of putting those on, adding some 3/4" spacers in the front, and calling it good. Should that result in a fairly even mild lift? (from what I've read, the MJ shackles should be good for about 1/2" to 3/4" lift yes?)
What are some good shocks for this mild a lift? I will probably want new shocks anyway, the stockers are still on there and while they still have damping the rears are limiting my droop even with stock springs and shackles (haven't tried disconnecting the fronts though.)
I know this isn't the usual kind of lift question, but I really don't have the money to really boost it, get 33s, etc. etc. etc. and really it's pretty close to good right now. It drives great now that I got everything together but the tires look a little stuffed so I figured I would just bump it up a touch and avoid all the issues w/ SYE etc.
