looks good man,i see you driving by my house sometimes ,saw you down at the N.E. a few weeks ago
 
It's mostly the camera angle. It's a little big for my taste, but it's far from unnecessary, and if it were any smaller it would probably only have about 2" of uptravel. I've wheeled with him at Uwharrie, and it did great. I want to say the springs are outboarded a little, so it's actually a lot more stable than you would think. All in all, I would say he did a really good job
 
Is it just me, or is something wrong with the first two pics, like they are missing the bottom half? I think my computer is screwing up again.

The one pic I did see, looks great, but i agree it does look tall and top heavy. Great looking XJ though.
 
bottom photo

yes it was tall in the 3rd photo..........if you look close i had the spacers installed along with the acos adjustable spacers.................my friend and i drove it up to the gas station and back and laughed becaused it was so tall......it had about 16" lift then.also the rear had at that time 8" skyjacker front cherokee coils in the rear. i changed those out for softer rockrawler coils and got rid of the extra spacer in the front.(i'm at about 14"now)the top 2 photos show the jeep at current ride height.yes it is big for some peoples taste but it isn't to bad.........i have limit straps on all sides so things don't get to crazy and when it starts moving on the rocks it dosen't flex all crazy, and unload all at once ....you know.rear coilover setup was the best thing i ever did..........awesome.

That's my new favorite quote....

14" of lift on anything is bad.... FarmBoy's brother on here's running 39.5's on about 6.5" of lift... I ran 37's on 5.5"...

Why make it so unstable and so tall? Are you running a trackbar out back? Antirock or what... It looks like it would flop over taking a hard left or right turn...
 
how are the coils treating you with fullwidths and the height? my old XJ has your same axle setup and about 8" and 38s but it has an all leaf conversion done on it. it had problems with the coils up front...
 
Get that thing slammed man. Not that we are opionated or anything. :lol:

This is my bro's with around 6"-6.5" of lift.

Since you dont even know that you have "Coils" not Coil-overs......i am not sure how many people are going to take you or your opinions seriously. Just a though. Good luck not killing someone driving in the mall parking lot.
 
if i ever get my cherokee beater finished i plan on running 39.5" iroks on about my full widths with about 5" of lift and a leaf conversion in the front, but hopefully less lift. then again i did trim the piss out of the fenders. good luck and try not to get stuck under a bridge
 
i think i saw this rig at ure today ( i was the black cherokee behind yall on danieal)

t0 be honest its a little tall for my taste but from what i saw it looked to carry it self very well for how tall it was.

also........NICE tow rig!
 
uwharrie today

yes...........we just got back home from uwharrie today....... thanks for the support on my oversized cherokee chromerunner. no problems at uwharrie today......not packed and crazy so we got alot of trail time. as for the front coil set up ....i moved the axle foward about 6 inches. no problem with the coils in the front or the (COILOVERS IN THE REAR) coils.i said coilovers on an earlier posted and i guess i deserve a little ball busting...HA HA. the rear is 4 link with custom rear crossmember for the rear. no track bar.....all rear links are crossed...with rockrawler axle truss.being so big and top heavy i guess the limiting straps are doing there job......i;ll get better pics for all......from today posted...
 
toe rig

forgot to thank you for the toe rig comment..(22.5 alcoas)....thanks
