Well i just got my xj a couple of months ago and now i need it to be a little more capable offroad. Its a 96' with 177K miles 4 cyl manual trans, and still runs strong. Mostly all highway miles. I've been researching and reading posts on this forum quite a bit.
What Im thinking is a 3.5 rubicon express superride kit with the AAL. Black rockkrawler wheels with mickey thompson 33" baja claw radials. I do plan on removing the fender flares completely, and cutting the fenders. After doing some reasearch, i have found that the bajaclaws measure up to be 32.2 in (or somthing like that), so I think these will fit fine.
I went to the local junkyard yesterday and got a pair of like new leaf springs for 45 bucks, so i think these will make for good donors for the AAL.
I drive my jeep 50% on road and 50% off road, since it is not my primary transportation.
So my main questions are...
* What backspacing will I need on the wheels that will look/perform the best offroad?
*At this height, will I need a SYE, axle shims, or something for driveline vibes?
*The rubicon express kit doesnt come with track bar relocation mounts. Will I need to get these or and adjustable track bar?
