Default My XJ 3" Lift & Locker instal

Hi guys

Just thought Id post up some pictures of my XJ and what Ive been doing the last few days.

Installed Ruff Country's 3" lift Kit and a Spartan Auto locker in the front dana30 diff.

Before shot.





Axles out



The mail man shows up



Ruff Country's LCA's look heaps stronger than the standard arms and are slightly longer to correct caster.



3" Springs



Carrier & Spider gears out ready for the locker







Locker installed into carrier



Springs & LCA's installed



Carrier, new Axle seals & painted diff cover installed



Front done & on the ground



Onto the rear Leaf packs. I also removed the rear sway bar.



All done.











First drive and only problem was the steering wheel not straight. I have no death woobles or vibes

Measurements from center of wheel to guard was 17" Front & Rear Now its sitting at 20" Front & Rear

Would like too thank Wooders garage for the locker and Hammerhead4x4 for the lift kit.

Cant wait for the weekend to get out and give it a good workout with the sway bar disconnected at some local tracks.

Moving onto sliders now for a little sill protection.
