Not sure which highway (80?)... but running east/west in northern NV was posted 80 or 85 MPH ~ something like that.
That's where I was doing 90+ for 3 hours straight and didn't have a heat issue...

:spank:
What about our back door?
:ass:

Oh. You mean on the XJ.

Wait. What?

I already have a 2.5" coil lift installed and picked up the 2" spacer (from Amazon via the site link) to get me to the 4.5" goal.
...gonna grab those LCA's though. Mine are fixed length.

I was...

Only bright red coil springs I found for a grand cherokee were for a Rancho 2" lift (given the shock length was only a little over stock for max and the bolt to bolt on the LCA was 16.5").
So, if...

I happened to "need to" drive out to the other side of town today to sign some paperwork and decided to stop by the local pick and pull to get a measure on the exploder~
The rear sway bar linkage...

I do love the BleepinJeep videos.

so a 2" drop'll be fine?
...or a set of longer links would be better?

set of links would run what ~ $30 / $40 ballpark

OK so the end that is over the axle... is + 5° toward the back...
but if it's from the piviot point (the bushing spot) its way bigger of an angle.

also noticed that the PO went CraZZy...

I knew that... was just thinking out loud about front end upgrades.
~ more of longer linkage than the entire sway bar. But noticed on 1 junkyard list or another, the other sway bars referenced for...

quick search for the local yards = 4 hits on 98 zj's. :rolleye0012::pray:
tierods = $17
swaybar = $26

....though I'm going to try to finish off my current projects before I start the next phase...

So I want to find a 5.9L ZJ to pull the sway bar and tierods?
mmmm beef

......have you seen / heard spec's on the Bronco ii sway bar or Exploder?

The V8 ZJ has the beefier tierods. Which should be adjustable to compensate for lifts upto maybe 5".
I'm not sure the sway bar is beefier though.
And I think the Ford Exp. has longer / beefier...

My phone likes to change my words into ??? things I generally wouldn't say in public:spongebob:

I was definitely planning on keeping the front. Maybe even working on something for the rear as well...
Since this is my primary ride to drill weekends ~ on the other side of the pass full of twisty...

Ya know what... I just eye-balled it from the underside up.
...and a friend gave it a quick look.

But from that pic. it sure does look like it has an adjustable end.
Good eye.
~ can I borrow...

Track bar is aftermarket, but not adjustable~ thinking of getting an adjustable down the road.
And I think the brark lines a long enough. Might do the cheat and reposition the screw point.

I can get the drop brackets for cheap... and if that'd get me by for 6 months (no real off roading - just snow and ice), I'd go that route.
Then when I get back from :ass:crackastan, I could...

The LCA are part of the lift the PO did. Beefy looking / but for a 2.5" lift.
The uppers are stock.
Track Bar is also after market ~ and I would assume for the 2.5" as the axle is centered to the...

So in reading... what about
- Bronco II sway bar for 3" ~ 4"
- Exploder rear sway bar links for 3" ~ 4"

...either combined or a 1 or the other to get to the 4.5" - 5" target?

and the ZJ...

OK. So I somehow added 2" in my brain to my front lift.
...I know, guys are always adding a couple inches...
I have a 2.5" lift (according to the tape measure) and only 1" in rear. But it is...
