Title: Solid axle swaps
Post by: Zoro on October 19, 2014, 10:56:44 PM
Not having much luck selling the '84 so I'm thinking about making it my off-roader and really considering the XJ solid axle swap. Not looking to go crazy and run huge tires but would love to run about a 31" tire and have the flex of a SAS.

Who's done it?

Advice?

Photos? :D

Use a long arm kit for the conversion.

That's one of the avenues I'm thinking of going, I imagine it would flex like Schwarzenegger. What size tires would that allow?

Depends on your springs and how much you cut the wheel well open.

Then why ask an open ended question without enough info? ;)
