33's on 3" lift sounds like exactly what I want. Would it be a 33"x11.5 or can I get the full 12.5 under there?

Have also started looking into bull-bars. Xrox is looking like the easiest and cheapest at the moment, as it has to be airbag compliant so I can get it all engineered.

Here's a few pics of the old girl at the moment:

Nice XJ. looks like a great start base to build off.
What makes you think it has a rear diff lock?

I'll put up a picture when I get home of the sticker in the glove box. Basically, it's along the lines of "This vehicle is fitted with a locking rear differential. Do Not start this vehicle if one rear wheel is on the ground, as the vehicle may move"

That, and it spins up the inside wheel if I reverse or drive forwards at full steering lock.

lsd,,,,,,,,,

I thought so too until I saw the sticker below while checking out the 4wd system settings.

Unless I'm a total noob and this is jeep's way of saying I've got an LSD :|

As far as I know they didn't come with an type of locker, only an LSD.

I have a 3.5" Rubicon express short arm kit on one of my XJs. (Bilstein 5100s, 31x10.5x15 discover STTs, and that's it for the suspenion.

I also have another XJ on 6.5". Rough country long arms, rough country rear leafs, Clayton 6.5" coils, Custom Shackles relocators, and Rustys .75" shackles. Bilstein 5100s in it, locked front and rear and some other jazz. She's spinning 35x12.5x15 BFG KM2s.

The RE lift feels stiffer than the RC one for some reason. I'm not sure if it's because the RC one is broken in more, or if the RE one is just stiff. If i were you i'd do long arms. They cost more, but i love them. Flex like crazy.

Feel free to hit me with questions or what have you. If you ever need random odds and ends thrown over the pond PM me and i'll throw them over for the cost of shipping.

Good luck dude.
