Front Alignment Specs
 

Group,

This has probably been covered before, but what front alignment specs are
use on a 2000 XJ with a 3" lift? Coils with 1.5" pucks (for the added
weight of a winch & bumper) are used in the front.

Thanks Group!

They are pretty much the same. Just make sure your toe is right so you dont
eat tires. someone correct me if Im wrong because mine has been fine a long
time with the factory settings.

Re: Front Alignment Specs
 
Set your toe-in so the front of the tires are 1/8" closer to each other than
they are in the rear... this works extremely well for low tire wear and good
handling per the instructions at http://www.cowtownjeeps.com/tech/align.htm
.. Your XJ's caster angle is fine with only a 3" lift and its camber angle is
not even adjustable so no worries there either. Toe-in is important though,
so make sure you keep this setting up to snuff. :)

Re: Front Alignment Specs
 
My alignment guy could only get my caster to about 2.5 deg. without
throwing the front driveshaft out of alignment on my TJ. I was hoping to
get to 5 or 5.5 deg. I wonder if I should find someone else to adjust it.
