my question is, how do I go about this since my XJ was originally equipped with ABS? Do I have to buy the more expensive ABS YJ lines? I'll give you a little background if some of you don't know. I swapped in an 8.25 from a 98 cherokee, it is a non ABS axle. I never changed anything else, just pulled all the abs relays and the dash light. Anyone have any insight?

the rule of thumb for shackles is half the length is the lift      i.e.  2" lift shackles would give about 1" lift

duece keep in mind that when u go to add ur coil spacers in your going to throw off ur caster and push ur axle back towards the rear of the jeep, and since ur lca are made for a 3 inch lift ur caster will be very out of spec, this will put u in the same boat as i was in when my jeep when i was at 6 inchs of lift and i had some no shit, scared to drive the jeep death wobble, and im not real sure if it was the caster being off or the axle being pushed back farther then it was supposed to be that gave me the death wobble, so just keep this in mind that im going to give u a 75% chance of getting some death wobble, i just want u to be warned.

good stuff to know. So the 6 inches of lift was because you had these spacers on, and you fixed your DW by taking them off, so your LCAs were long enough? The shackles I just ordered are adjustable, 1.5-2'' and I'm sagging in the rear because of the swingout  and prob the AAL. Could we cut down the spacers to 1'' to try to avoid some DW, and go with 1.5'' in the rear?

Direct replacement i would check the thread pattern but i don't think you need the abs lines i would talk to neil at bumper to bumper tell him what you are doing and he should be able to tell you the difference in the part numbers

extensions? or longer ones? rusty's has this kit for front and rear http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=rustys&Product_Code=RB-BL10-UV&Category_Code=BRAKES

But it doesn't say how much lift it accomodates. I suppose if im only going up 1 1/2" at most this should be enough. and its only 10 bucks.

Or I will get the YJ lines. The question I'm asking is more regarding the ABS. From what I understand its a fragile system, and I really don't want to get air in there. Going to have to be very careful, and make sure I use something to hold the pedal down, and disconnect the battery as not to kill it from the brake light. The non ABS YJ lines are cheaper. Can I run them, since I'm not using ABS now? Really confused ???
