I had almost forgotten how fun it can be.
Today I put the XJ up on jackstands and swapped out the coil springs and rear shackles and removed the rear sway bar. I put in ZJ V8 coils and the MJ shackles I found yesterday, which netted me about 1.15" in the front and .5" in the rear. I may fab up some lift blocks tomorrow to even it out, it only needs about .75" in the rear. This was my first time working on a coil-sprung suspension, it took me over three hours to get the springs swapped out and the axle realigned. :doh:
