I wound up in Hawkins Point today too, is it me or did they add to the size of the yard? You are right about only two XJ's luckily one had the gauge cluster I was looking for.

I can't wait to see what you have for me when the long arms, quick disconnects, u-bolts and pitman arm arrive. This is giving me a good laugh.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the outcomes. Don't have a picture of the rear coils compared but here's the front:

Did you have to do anything with the shocks when these were installed? Thanks.

Clockspring doesn't affect gauges

Pretty sure there's a wiring issue that is solved by a harness for the problem you're having. Extremely common on TJs and relatively common on 97+ XJs.
