Cabz Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Has anyone seen the project MJ in JP magazine? . They picked up a beater MJ about too issues back . In the latest issue they finished the rear lift, It is SAWEET! they had alcan make the rear springs They used 5" lift springs and stayed spring under . I wouldn't say that 5" lift springs will flex as well as lesser arched spring but man the MJ looks sweet. I called alcan for S&gigles they said they will make a lift leaf pack for the MJ from 2" to 6" for $195 per spring and lifts above 6" for $210 per Not to bad of a deal if ya ask me.

Cooter Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 $195 per pack??? Sounds a little salty to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabz Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 $195 per pack??? Sounds a little salty to me... If you figure most XJ lifts w/ AAL's are about $400+ range and the same kit with complete packs are about $900 + the price aint that bad. I would rather have a new pack than an AAL especialy if the pack you allready have is toast. JC Whitney used to sell MJ packs w/no lift for about $95 per brand new so by the time you add AAL's your about there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I have a set of 2" lift soa alcans in the rear, and they flex great, and ride even better. Pricey yes, but worth their weight in Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't pay $195 for my long aal with shocks for my 2" inch XJ lift. $195 a pack for 2" is pretty damn pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason H. Rea Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Hey recognise this MJ? Image Not Found It's the MJ from the JP article after they finished the lift in the rear. The really odd part is I didn't get it from the magazine. I got it from an Ebay auction about 4 months before the article was released. The Guy selling it, said that he had only bought it a month prior and didn't know much about MJs, but he also said that he homebuilt the suspension lift himself. So either JP sells the MJ, or this guy stole the pics. Wierd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepmj_tj Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 unless they soley plan on desert racing that truck, i can't see why they would go to the trouble of having the custom leaf packs made for sprung under. The pictures in the mag. show how much ground clearance they lost. Heck the only thing that hangs down under my rear axle is the .5" of the stock ubolts soa, and i have drug the heck outa the axle over some rocks at tellico. I can't imagine having that huge leaf pack and ubolt plate hanging down under there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
