HellCreek 4.5's and I've got a 8.25 I plan to swap some ZJ discs onto. The ZJ box is a little quicker ratio.

sweet, thats what i'm looking to run too. I just picked up some ICON's today...hope I can run them w/o rubbing on only 3". Are you going to run a spacer in the front to balance out the 4.5" rears?

Stock the truck had about a 1" difference between the front and rear. I like some rake to it, tends to level out if you're towing or hauling.

right on...def post some pics when she's done. I'd like to see it finished to get an Idea on my route. you've done a good job on that thing for sure..

 

[88pioneer]

Thanks again. I have give at least half the credit to my son Jake. He's worse than I was at that age.

Truck is looking good!

265/75/16s will fit nicely with the RE 3.5" lift. I ran that size on my XJ with RE 3.5" lift with little trimming.

I did the same on my '00 XJ. I added a spacer when I installed my ARB and didn't have to trim. Here's a pic, my wife is driving it now and it's back to stock. She don't like it 'all high and stuff':

Amazing work on that front end. Very clean. When you're finished, you're welcome to take a crack at my 94 XJ

We'll hook you up, just need elbow grease and a little time. Especially for a Iredell County resident, born and raised there...
