got my 35's on.

before,

during,



a little tight. enter, the sawzall......

 

[Jeremy]

after.


a little more comfortable. still have to shorten the sliders, or move the front axle a little farther forward. and once i get the rear springs relocated i should not have any isues with the rear.

Cool I'd leave the rear where it is and trim where it hits.....(strategically, so you can weld the uni-car back together and keep whatever integritity there is stock).

Just adjust your front control arms out to move the front forward. There's not alot of room in the front due to the wheeltub interference. Bumpstops are your friend....

Looks good :greg: Sawzalls are awesome :bow:

I agree! I was able to trim enough out of there for 38's and weld it back together. Welding the sheetmetal sucks, but it's worth it and it can look great.

Looks nice Good job.

if it was sitting at a true 6" in the rear, i would have a lot less cutting to do. with three year old rustys offroad springs and a 1.75 shackle and i am still only at 4.75-5" in the rear. maybe i can do something simple to it when i get the 44 under it.

mbryson, did you get my last mesage? are you still interested in doing some gears for me?

I was sitting at about 6" with 38's though. It didn't rub when the tire was fully stuffed either, but I did trim a lot out of there and moved the axle back a couple inches.

I didn't get it, but bring up the XJ....... It'd be nice to do something I've done before..... Shoot it to me again

Nice.... now clean up my parents driveway!

done.

i took it up butterfield to see weather or not the tires would rub. the fronts rub on the sliders when i turn. and the rears rub on the corners of the fenders pretty good.

here are some poser pics, sorry it is so dark. and keep in mind this was just to see where the tires would rub, as the jack wont do it anymore.

 

[Greg]

That looks really good! There's 2 things that I really dig on the XJ.

- Cut sheetmetal to fit bigger tires.

- Big tires, minimal lift.

Are those new MT/R's too? How would it be?!

you had the opportunity, my wife just saw them first i was looking for used tires and she called me and said.........link..

greg this board is a great service to the bargain hunter (tight-wads) thanks for the opportunity.
