Zone 3" lift

This is mine, it started as the 3" IRO lift, then I added boomerang shackles, SYE, lift pucks up front. it has the doestech shocks IRO offers with the lift.
Also has stage 1 Core4x4 control arms, IRO track bar, Crown brake lines, and will be getting some no lift shackle relocation brackets.
I put the hack n tap SYE on it with an adams offroad drive shaft and it will hit 100 no problem.
it is also sitting on 33x10.50R15 KM2s

I dont remember for sure which case it has. There is a badge on it some place saying which one right?

Yes, bolted to rear of the case half. Quick and dirty: do you have full time 4wd? Yes-np242 no-np231

Well "part time" lights up on the dash whenever I throw it into 4h so I'm assuming 231. But I will check the badge anyways

if you have the 231 your 4wd selection will be:
2WD
4HI
N
4LO

242 if I remember correctly will be
2WD
4hi full time
4hi part time
N
4LO
but I may be wrong, only looked at the 242 a few times

 

[alexgalexg]

Yeah its the 231. Thank you for making that easy

I used the RE 3.5" super flex kit with LCA's rear leafs, shocks etc, also installed a real SYE and Tom Woods ds. Rides real nice and I'm an oldster.

Why the drive shaft? Was it required?

If I remember correctly it was a 2 piece kit (AA sye and a ds). Had the measure for the ds. The sye being shorter needed a longer ds.

You also need to swap to a double cardon shaft. with a sye.

yes you will need a new drive shaft for an sye. Some have had good luck using a spare front xj drive shaft, this has the double cardan RCP mentioned above. otherwise you will need to look for a new shaft.

 

[alexgalexg]

Alright hopefully I can get that as a kit

Anyone know of a kit that is literally just all the bolts for the lift? I know the lifts dont come with bolts and if mine break I dont want to be stuck mid lift install especially since this is my daily

something to do ahead of time is go to the dealer and order new bolts for the leaf springs, they wont be super cheap, but youll know they are correct.

 

[RCP Phx]

I would avoid factory bolts as much as possible. They are all std sizes which can be purchased in a "higher" grade for a lot cheaper!

 

[alexgalexg]

The leaf spring bolts I understand getting from the dealer. But there's no kit for the shock bolts and whatnot? I feel like with how many lifts go on xj's per day that somebody would have a bag. I'll keep buzzing on Google

The rear shocks will be the ones that will break. go ahead and order the flag nuts from azzys design works. the upper bolts almost always break off and these make it a lot easier to fix it. I never had issues with the lower bolts front or rear for the shocks on mine.
