He probably meant the 4.7L XK:
4.7L Limited XK = 5047 lb
5.7L Limited XK = 5169 lb
They never offered a CRD XK here :(

Your wrong again. The 4.7 liter has a curb weight of 5047 lbs and the limited Hemi XK is 5169 lbs
I was talking vehicle weight not engine weight just worded it wrong
Oh okay haha. I didn't know a 4.7 XK weighed that much though, so it probably does have higher spring rate coils than a diesel WK. Regardless, I still want Hemi XK coils!
Does anyone know the engine weights of 3.7, 4.7, 5.7 and 3.0 CRD.
Haha seriously though the 3rd row seat weighs close to 100 lbs. I took mine out years ago
i was taking some measurements the other day- is it sad that my current daystar BB w/bilstein HDs in the front sits the same height as your CRD with a spacer and shocks? 20.5.. so looks like in the end ill be able to run a tire size comparable to whats on my sahara 18s. so awesome!
I've heard that the Daystar runs on the shorter side of 2 inches...I'm actually not at 20.5 in the front though. I've got about a 1 inch rake so hopefully these new springs bring me up at least .5 inches. That means I'll probably do 245/75r17 instead of 245/70r17. You're running 255/75r17s, right?
im running a 255/80r18, which is a true 32x10. im running 1/4" spacers and dont have any rubbing at full lock- but do have some when i hit awkward/steep dips in the road at higher speeds (driving like an ass).
so im hoping i can get a 31.5 or something along those lines in there when i switch to a 17" rim. 255/70 or a 245/75 would be nice too
paroxysym: do you have the pinch weld mod done? cause i have a daystar lift and i fit 265/70R17s on my XK no problem which are the same as 245/75 just a hair wider
Do you know what a stock WK sits at, 19"? That's good to hear, I'd rather not run spacers for a while. Isn't 245/75r17 31.6" or something like that?
you should have no problem fitting them, my XK i dont have the pinch weld mod done either, and i dont rub any. but i also do have rims that i think put my out about the same as stock rims with 1.5 spacers.
well i have a line on some black op moabs.. makes me want to go 33s LOL.
i dont think a 255/75 would fit with a 1" lift, however with my front end being the height it is now with my daystar i did run 255/75s with 1" spacers and they looked great and they didnt rub that bad with the 1" spacers. the 1/4" spacers keep them within the fenders and they rub alittle more than they did with the 1". i think tires are going to be tough when the time comes to pick a size. theyll either look too small or TOO stuffed and oversized for the jeep.
That's the problem I have...I don't want it too be big or small. I'm fairly certain I can fit 245/75r17 with this setup and it won't look silly if I want to add a bit more lift in the future. I don't might if I have to do the pinch weld.
Alright, just got some quotes on 245/70s and 245/75s and the bigger ones a bit cheaper. Both E load range, I believe. Do you guys think I will have rubbing with the bigger tires without wheel spacers? I could have them installed as soon as this weekend, but I've got to decide which size.
E load range will be fine. Our vehicles are heavy. Andrew got his MT/Rs in Load range E
What pressure did you run? Ive never had an issue with E load tires but I calculate the proper pressure for them. A lot of people over inflate LT tires thinking they need 50+ psi and then its like riding on bricks.
What psi should i run on my duratracs Matt?
For an LT265/70/17 you're good with 35 psi. At that pressure you'll exceed your RGAWR before overloading the tires. If you're towing/hauling and want to stiffen them up a bit you can go up to 40 psi. Anything above 40 is overkill and may actually reduce traction/stability. 38 psi is a common pressure that suits most people pretty well in these vehicles.
thanks, and another question, how should i rotate them?
I was a bit worried about the E load range at first but after talking to Matt, he assured me it wouldn't be too bad if I used the right psi. What do you recommend I run them at for 245/70?
They have to order it from a warehouse in town so I can't test fit them.
Well I'd rather not use a slip on wheel spacer or really any for that matter so I've decided to just go with 245/70r17. Hopefully this weekend...
For that size tire you'd be OK @ 35 for unloaded daily driving. But to match the max load capacity of the stock tires/ axles you'll want ~42 psi.
Id run 38 DD but go 42-45 for longer trips or towing/hauling
Sweet thanks... I'll go 38 for DD then. I usually carry some extra weight in my Jeep anyways.
I know everyone's got opinions about wheel spacers.... Personally it's just something I don't really want to worry about right now. I'll probably eventually get some 1 inch Bora wheel when I get some Moabs. Also I don't think a lot of shops will touch slip on wheel spacers but that doesn't really matter. I'm still gonna go with 245/70s and I'll think I'll be fine without spacers for now.
looking forward to see how well those fill out your wheel wells.
Here's when I had 245/70/17 general grabbers

Is that with a BB?
Yeah that was with the 2" RC
That looks really good, better than I thought it would with a lift. Okay I'm sold!
