well i have a cherokee for a daily driver and somehow i managed to bottom out the front suspension enough to pinch my tranney cooler lines that and get the end of the steering stablizer hit my oil pan(part where it bolts to the drag link?), not badly but a small dent none the less. i looked at a cherokee that was at my work today and i could see where the oil pan was peeled back a bit from the passenger side upper controllarm bracket hitting it, basically the same thing mine did but not as severe. but ya is that normal for xjs? normal in that it happens stock? my bumpstops arnt missing or chewed up or anything and even hade they been missing i would still expect stuff to clear or not hit even with metal to metal bottoming out?
maby i abuse my shit but i would still expect something like that to not happen unless some part of the suspension broke and let the axle cycle further than stock.

That hasnt happened to mine yet...I dont no what to do for ya there. If it happens to me ill let you no.

:smokin:ILL GO CHECK MINE, I BOTTOM MY SUSPENSION CONSTANTLY :shocked:

You could try not jumping your jeep:) Non of my jeeps had any problems.

well thats what i figured till my dads girl friend hade maby a simlar problem with her zj. that and the customers car at work. sooo mine might be wayyy bad because of jumping but i doubt my dads girlfried has jumped hers or the customer at work. i dunno reguardless of what i did or didnt do that shit is pretty close to the upper arm so i dunno.

yea i busted mine cooler line and i have also put a dent in my oil pan...but this was when i had my jeep on a 2" lift and 32's....i ended up taking the stabilizer off and re routing my cooler lines up into the engine compartment...

Ah, I just had to give you alittle shit. From the sounds of it this seems to be semi common.

even jumping it should not have done anything, like you should be able to fully bottom out a car without pinching or crushing anythign assuming the suspension does not break. i mean i aint no genius but ya i wont build something that crushes a pretty importiant part with in the normal range of motion for the suspension. i dunno jeep engineers at thier finest i guess.
