bottomline89 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 i saw that one and thats going to be my fall back, but the wheels and tires are cheaper and easier to get with the complete package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 those XJ lift leaf packs will be worthless to you. but converting your truck to SOA using your stock leafs will give around 6" of lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I wouldn't use that. the fixed LCAs (and maybe other things like the trac bar) won't be proper for 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 the long travel MJ kit is what I would get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have a separate set of tires for mudding. means they last a lot longer and I can run normal treaded tires for the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomline89 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 well i'm just making sure.. i figured it was from my friends peeling out at every red light then telling me they wear down fast :shake: and i'll be sure to rotate them against my love for the sound of off road tire's hum on pavement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
