The spring could fall out if you get airbourne
or you could damage the upper mount if  you
bottom out, other than that, go for it

my plan right now is to get some xj fronts for the rear of mine and then the vic shocks and use a 1.25" spacer up front and flip the mount and take off the sway bar. from what I can see the front is almost useless for flexing unless I put some good money into it .(not going to happen) and since thsi is just an occasional off road vehicle and daily driver I am only going 235-75-15 tires and have fun....the vic shock are they off the rear ?
with this combo I should be at 2" total lift correct? and also is there anything else I should do driveline wise to prevent any problems ie binding of anything.....

last question what turbo set up are you using? that must be fun to hammer it in mud
thanks for all your help

i am not actually saying anything I just want to be at the front of the topic list again

but I did just get what was supposed to be a 2" exhaust with a turbo muffler but turned out it is going back too actually get a 2" exhaust not 1.75"
