For those of us who are using V8 springs and feel the ride is to harsh, I fabricated and installed some Mid Length LCA's, 25 3/8" C-C and it really smoothed out the ride. I'm running V8 T-bird coils w/ no isolator and it was a bit on the harsh side prior to this Mod. It is now pleasantly firm ride that matches my full S10 leaf pack perfectly

My first post wasn't rude. I told him, and also pointed to where I found it.
Also - I haven't looked yet either, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure that there is a write up on doing a bastard pack on this site, correct? So all he would have to do is use the search function.. That's really all we were pointing out.

I just use google to search, more forums to search overall.
I typed "Bastard pack xj"
You have to try different stacks of packs to see what you want.
Good luck, have fun, wheel safe.

Why not just get an adjustable track bar? but if you did re drill a hole I would plate the drilled hole because the crappy stock bracket has already shown its crap by wallowing out...look at this links that shows the stress put on the re drilled bolt hole
