Hello, I have an hemi 06 xk. I have ome hd lift installed. Gained nearly 3" in the front and nearly 2" in the rear. I have aev wk pintlers I will be using. The tires are street tires and not ATs or MTs. Pinchweld is getting done. The next problem seems to be the ac lines, any other mods to them other than deleting them ? Think i have heard about relocating them. Would the tires fit with just the pw mod ?
They wont fit with just the pinch weld mod. I plan on eventually relocating mine rather than deleting them, but theres other mods I want to do first so I havent put much effort into that yet.
Anybody know how to relocate them ?? Would I also need new uca's ? If so is the jba or rr the best choice ?
Best choice JBA hands downQuote:

Im going to put on my 255/75/17 mt's. They are just a little smaller than the 285s and measure how much cutting I need. Did get the rear guard on today so atleast something got done :)
It's the coolant lines that are outboard. I'm thinking re-routing them is the easiest and the A/C lines are probably alright where they are.

FWIW, I would NOT recommend the RRO arms. Their production is not consistent and theres a good chance you'll get arms made incorrectly that causes the bushings to separate. They also use jeep liberty bushings which are smaller/weaker than XK bushings.... not exactly an "upgrade" IMO. The JBA arms were also recently redesigned/optimized. They're worth the few extra bucks.
Believe it or not a 285/70 is quite a jump from 255/75's. It's not just the height of the tire, but also the width that causes rubbingQuote:

That is an god option Core. Think I have seen a youtube vid of an xk with 2" lift and 275/70/17 and it looked good. Looks like the jba uca's is the way to go. I do however like the looks of the new uca's from american motorsports, I hopefully they fit an lifted xk also:

Stay away from the AM arms. They were designed around a WK running a double-stacked lift and will not work for a properly lifted xk/wk. The arms push the knuckle out further which is the opposite of what we need to get our camber within spec when running 2-3" lift
