Re: 87 YJ magically turned into a '92 XJ
Hey Earle,
Would you be happier if I sent the shackles back and got a body lift?
Are there similar driveline problems with those too? Or do they have
problems just different ones?
Thanks again to everyone for all the help.

Re: 87 YJ magically turned into a '92 XJ
Me darķa igual. Means I would be happy either way, but you might not. The
body lift is going to interfere with your shifter and misalign your fan,
among other things. Then there is the odd wire, tube or hose that might
need to be lengthened. I guess you are better finding out about the body
mounting bolts that are going to snap off sooner than later.

Re: 87 YJ magically turned into a '92 XJ
You know, depending on your local rust quotient, you can go an inch or
inch and a half with a body lift to clear larger tires and give it a
better stance. This is a pretty common YJ lift. Folks around here go
there first, then springs if needed later. 31's fit easy with the body
lift.
It leaves the driveline totally stock and just adds tire clearance.
Later you can pop for springs or a re-arch and keeper spring lift even.
Anything more than 1.5" on a body lift starts to run into troubles.
