So over the past two weekend I've been wrenching on the XJ.
Last weekend I got the front buttoned up with new 4" coils, bumstops drilled and tapped in the coil buckets and track bar adjustment.
This weekend we installed my HD Offroad shackle relocation brackets, JKS shackles and new 4" Bilstein shocks.
There were a few good struggles over the course of about 7 hours but eventually everything got installed, torqued to spec, and buttoned up.
Overall I'm extremely please with my new shackle angle and the rear end now seems to glide over bumps as opposed to feeling like a dump truck being slammed up and down.
A rough measurement puts me at 4" up front and about 4.5" in the rear. I have it loaded down with a bunch of crap to help it settle but I expect it should should settle to a full 4" F/R. I have some more pronounced vibes at 35mph but otherwise good.
Still needed to order my LCA's and ultimately put a Slip Yoke Eliminator kit in it for the vibes.
