I was wanting to see some 4x4's used to lift it, cheap will eventually get turned back to the earth, and no welding is required and can be done with the simplest of hand tools ;D

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

with that kind of lift he probably had some 37's and ran it in 4low on the streets because he kept the 3.55's in it, how economical

I'm surprised the U bolts are one piece not a combo of the originals with crap added to make them longer.

It must have rode like a dream with the stock control arms at those angles too.

Hahaha.. thats awesome.  It's a black 88 XJ right?  Was in my yard for a while.   Didn't even really pull that much off it before I sent it to the scrap yard

and no... I didn't do that to it.  I acquired the XJ in a parts trade.

Take out "xj's" and substitute "vehicles" and you are pretty close to the truth. ;D
