What did you do to your XJ today? 1M Views

[Richard buttocks]

Fitted radiator and fans
Cools from 110 down to 100 very fast
Still need to wire the fans proper

Now to change all the wheels to stock so i can get an alignment tomorrow. Fukn tyres hug the rim tight and we cant get the laser aligner thingo on.

I know it's been covered so didn't want to start another thread. I've just put stu murchison flexi coils in the front and although I have 2inch ome rear springs and 2 inch shackles the rear is sitting a good 2 inches lower. I have got quotes from the states for new leaves but just don't have $600 for springs atm. I also have some 2 inch efs springs whats people's thoughts on using the main leaf (cutting eyes off) as the second leaf in the ome springs? Or any other options for a cheap rear lift?

Thanks

Clint just do the add'A'leaf with the other set and go to Pedders Lawnton for longer centre bolts

And from others past experience the front coils will sag 1" to 1 1/2" over the next few months of wheeling

is it cheaper to get add a leaf locally? I am in the same situation as clint

You really need to find some leafs that have a real bend to them. Jeep leafs are nearly flat.
When you pull this spare pack you have to bits, you can compare its leafs with your existing ones with the wheels just off the ground. If the spare ones have much more curve, you will gain lift.
This is what I did. I had a pair of XA falcon leaf packs & just replaced the second leaf in my jeep ones with the most curved ones from the XA ones.
By just replacing, it didnt stiffen it in the rear much, just lifted.
JungleJuice played with the add a lift idea without very good results.
Another option would be to find some lifting blocks.

Am in the process of considering this as well. With wheels just off the ground, do you mean lifting on the axle (jackstands under the axle) or axle "hanging down" as in jackstand under the unibody?
