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.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

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