      So 31’s fit a 2” lift?? I just lifted my xj 2” with coils up front and shackles in the rear. Next is tires and it’s between 30’s and 31’s.

    Would I have to lift the front more or are the shackles just for miss flex? Do the shackles give it more lift? Thanks

    Ronnie, I unclamped the upper and lower radiator trans oil steel lines from the transmission's 3/8 rubber lines they clamp on to, so that I can install new trans oil cooler lines. I did not take note which they connect back to. the top steel line or the bottom steel line(that have the 3.8 rubber lines., can you help a girl out?

    • @pnwroffroad9229
      @pnwroffroad9229 2 года назад

      Probably to late to help, but easy way to find out is have a helper start the Jeep with the lines going into a bucket. Run it long enough to get flow, the pressure line goes into the cooler at the bottom port of the cooler.

    Cherokee Ronnie what slot hole did you put leaf spring in on the shackle? I have the same shackle relocation set and trying to find the best articulation and currently have it the 3rd hole from the front of hole.
