Re: My Newly Lifted XJ

Well...
*sigh*
In my experience, when it was tilted TOO far, I was getting a little 
vibration.
We went down to the Jeep dealer to look at some stock Jeeps, reajusted to 
get it as close as i could be, but it still appears a little tilted. No
more 
vibration and no squalling U-Joints. Seems to be ok.

I'd be glad to post a phot of mine if you like, let me know.

The guy who might know is Mike, hopefully he will chime in.

It's a 95.

I called Rough Country and they said the springs on my kit were the
same size for each side.

The noises I hear SEEM to come from the back end, but I'll keep the
quick disconnects in mind.
(One noise that I wasSURE was from the rear was actually one of the
front "hub caps" rattling loose!)

So from your experience, the bottom of the differential should be
parallel to the ground, and not tilted up?

TIA
