As for the rear ones, dropping the tranny seems to be easiest.
Have a time estimate on dropping the trans? Haha

Would it really be useful not being leaf sprung?

I was thinking keep the unit bearing and scrap it

Hadn't considered that. Probably get the same amount of money either way.

You mean replacing the cat. We don't discuss removal of cats here because it violates federal law. Please don't argue; it's a site rule.

That said, Flowmaster Super 40 and 44 mufflers are very popular on XJs. I use a Glasspak cause they're cheap to replace. Magnaflow makes good high flow cats. The rest can be done up by any exhaust shop.
