Incommando Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Although the length would be different, would a long AAL for an XJ give the same lift to an MJ despite the SUA/SOA difference? Just curious.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 no, on top of SUA/SOA differences, the springs are also different length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 I realize that the springs are a different length, but I was thinking that a l o n g XJ AAL would fall somehwere between an MJ short & long AAL...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 MJ springs also have a lot more arch to them, so an XJ AAL wouldn't really lift it that much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automan2164 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 As a rule, an xj aal will net about half the advertised xj lift when installed on an mj. Â Rob L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86FUBAR Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Well for what its worth the XJ 4" lift kit i got years ago for the manch from Trail Master was a XJ specific kit and i used the real AAL that came in the kit and it gave me 4" of lift out back and it just so happens to still be on the truck in a soa configuration though I'm trying to get rid of them at the moment for obvious reasions.

Eagle Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Although the length would be different, would a long AAL for an XJ give the same lift to an MJ despite the SUA/SOA difference? Just curious.... For reference, the Rancho catalog shows the SAME long AAL for the XJ and the MJ, and they claim 2-1/2" for both. That didn't make sense, so I called Rancho and spoke with a product engineer. She didn't have an answer so she put me on hold and went off to talk to a real engineer. When she came back she said the catalog listing is a misprint. It gives 2-1/2" in an XJ and 1" to 1-1/2" in an MJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
