Project Blazer killer? Not much of a project. I'm pretty sure you're already done.

so I have run into another issue, after installing the intake and tb spacer the combination is too tall! cut out part of the frame work of the hood to accommodate, but no luck, still too tall, looks like the spacer is gonna have to come off until I can afford to buy hood scoops to cover the hole im gonna have to cut in my hood

Or..... Leave the spacer out entirely? They don't do anything for the XJ.

Iv read mixed reviews about them, figured it couldn't hurt lol, I'm gonna pull it off for the time being anyway, have way more important things to spend money on than hood scoops right now

I was trying to be " cheap" and bought bronco coils, I ended up skipping the spacers, will be getting 3.5 inch coils in the near future. Rears are pro comp 3.5in lift springs

would using a stack of washers at the back of the hood give you enough clearance for the TB spacer? I wouldnt run it but just a thought
