Nice it looks good, I really like the brakes:thumbsup:

I just got done doing 4.88s, ARB, with 35 spline shafts on my D44 so far its one of the best things I have done to my XJ.

well im screwed so to speak looks like im not getting my xj back any time soon(family reasons) so im gonna have to save up and buy another one :( but oh well mine was a pos it just might take a while since im currently unemployed the other part is ive already ordered my 6.5 rc long arm kit a week or two ago so after rc dries out after the huge flood they had and sends my kit ill have all the parts and ill just have to sit here and drink beer and stare at them till i get a new xj im going to look in the 97-99 range this time instead of the older style ill keep ya posted

also i purchased my lift from payless 4x they are a site sponsor and located here in chico and they are great guys to deal with very knowledgeable and awesome to deal with and have great prices

Hey Tom, sorry to hear that. You must be too nice. Good to hear somebody takes care of the family before oneself.
