spring perches

[HardRox-MJ]

ok well i think i might swap a 8.8 into the heep ... so my question is its set up for a XJ and was curiouse if the spring pads are the same width apart on a mj as a XJ... i know the shock mounts r way diffrent from a mj to a xj so i wana know if i will have to cut them off and move them over

 

cheers

figured i wouldnt be that lucky :hmm: lol ... would have been nice to just pick it up slid it under tighten the ubolts and go lol

the worst part is that it's close enough to force it, but you'll eat your bushings in short order and the entire thing will shift to one side. better to do it right. :thumbsup:

yeah just lookin at it u would think they would be the same ... but yeah if i do swap it out ill cut them off and move them and set my pinion angal and stuff... its just a good deal and hard to say no to $150 for a 8.8 complete drum to drum with 4:11s and a LSD and its will be alot stronger then my d35 with lockrite lol

That and the accidental 5-6 inches of lift...

:rotf: I assumed he's talking about the truck with the 35" boggers.

[HardRox-MJ]

iv all ready got about 6 inches of lift and SOA in the rear... i figure the 8.8 will put my rear up a bit more were the tube is alot biger then the 35 so might have to compansate with a spacer in the front

IIRC, it's about 1.5" inwards on both sides from XJ to MJ.
