64 Cheyenne Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Got a relative who bought a built 06 TJ 4" lift 33s 6sp. He said it gets sh***y gas mileage, after talking to him till I was blue in the face about gear ratios he has decided to return the Jeep to stock drivetrain configuration with stock tires :doh: :dunno: He wants $400 for the complete lift kit, adj control arms (8) shocks coils discos. my other friend wants to buy it and use parts for his XJ opinions? What parts would be usable for him? Me I'd buy the lift (if I had $$) sit on it, might have a TJ again some day, or use it for barter etc, I'd definitely not part the kit. Not lookin for offers on the kit, will be kept local.
Mountain Dude Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Everything for the front axle will fit an XJ or an MJ, but the effective lift may be different than when it was on the TJ. The rear lower control arms will fit in the front lower control arms - they are the same.
mnkyboy Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 About the only thing useful would be the front arms which by themselves are not worth $400.
Comanche County Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 What kit exactly, how many miles on it? $400 might be a good deal, or a rip off.
Garvin Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 TJ coils are 2" shorter than XJ/MJ fronts so those 4" lift coils will only net you 2" on the XJ. I'm not sure about the shocks though as I don't know the stock measurements for both.
