2000 XJ, stock 4.0 w/ auto trans.
Picked up used OME 2.5 springs a couple of weeks ago, also purchased a new OME steering stabilizer and have four OME shocks on order.
A few questions.
1. Will installing the 2.5" springs require changing the trac-bar up front?
SYE, from searching this forum it looks like I'll need one, money's tight with the kids in school so.......
2. Can I get by with removing the rear drive shaft and just using the front to get me to Moab and back? about 3,000 miles round trip. -or- is operating a 'front wheel drive' XJ at 70-75mph across Nevada not such a good idea?
3. What other recommendations can you offer to what else needs to be done? remove rear sway bar? front dis-connects?
Thanks,
Tom
