terrible. You really need long/mid arms or at minimum adjustable short arms

you still need an adjustable for a lift like that, you need one for 2-4" of lift, not 4-6".

I recommend an IRO double shear adjustable trackbar

Another gear question: for spider gears in a Ford rear, do the spiders need to be geared the same as the rest of the diff? In other words, if the diff has 4.56 gearing, would I be able to run stock spiders?

spiders have nothing to do with the gearing. The number of the ring gear teeth divided by the number of pinion gear teeth gives the ratio. Stock spiders are fine.

Default Rear Defroster connector tab loose

I could not see in a search whether or not anyone had any clues to how to reattach the rear defroster connector. Where it would normally be attached to the glass grid, it has come loose.

Thanks to all replies.

You could get rid of the spacers on the sway and just use disconnect-able sway bar endlinks... they're available in different lengths in accordance to your lift height.

Default Help with radiator specs

I am attempting to perform the closed to open cooling system on my '90 XJ and was planning on going with the 3 row from radiator barn, but I noticed the core size for the 3 row for the ('92 and later) model I need is nearly an inch shorter in height than the '90 specifications--(31 X 11-1/4 X 1-13/16) for the '90 compared with (31 X 10-5/16 X 1-13/16) for the '92.

The comparison of specs for every other radiator on popular auto sites between the '90 and the '92 radiator shows no such difference, but don't offer the 3-row that I want. Anybody know why, or if it doesn't matter somehow regarding making the swap? Any suggestions for other post-1991 3-row radiators to make the common closed to open cooling swap for my 90 XJ? Thanks very much and any help is greatly appreciated. I'm really in a hurry to get it in for a long trip I hope to make soon with the new system.
