i know the front isnt high enough yet. im looking for atleast 3". plus the ford coils are a bit to big in gemeral and dont fit well at the top or bottom. im gonna get some real 3" xj coils in there and if its still to high in the ass then ill mess with them.Originally posted by Cletus View PostWhy not play around with the leaf setup to lower the rear?#becauseJoeNitro

if anything being at 3" of lift you would want more skids/slider/ beef steering. have funOriginally posted by JoeNitro View Postim gonna keep it a 3" lift NO HIGHER. so i dont NEED to upgrade any of that stuff.... i may eventually but only as i twist/bend/snap/bash the items listed. haha
the idea is to prevent things from happening"when I'm riding my motorcycle,I'm glad to be alive...when I stop riding my motorcycle,I'm glad to be alive"

you have a good point. my old jeep had all of that stuff. but this was a budget build and for now im gonna keep it at the bare min to keep me going. i dont really wanna dump a ton of money into an old beatup 91 thats rusting away.#becauseJoeNitro
