Stock xj suspension
« on: March 23, 2014, 08:46:31 AM »
So at 290,000 km, black betty is looking a little slouchy in the rear end.

This was my original project for wheeling, a 1999 xj sport, until i found out im too tall for it, my head smacks of the ceilin when a wheelin.

So my dad now uses this as his dd and takes it from ft Mac to Calgary on the off shift.

If it was my rig I would be putting an Old man emu kit in it, but for dad im thinking stock height would be best as it doesn't leave the pavement.  We will even be pulling the BFG AT's off for a low noise AT tire.

Any stock to 1" height springs you can recommend?  I would like to make the ride more comfortable for dear old dad.

I'd make him pay for the springs since he's been driving it for over 2 years.

Standens.... Stock height.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.
Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!

He will be paying for it lol.

I may still consider the old man emu kit, do a t case drop and shims, pray for no vibs.

+3 for standens as well. South side frame and alignment on 58 between maclead trail and black foot trail makes springs as well. They also will make any u bolt you need on site while you wait.
