You will have to grind the fronts a little bit on the new line. Like on the actual line it's self, the block doesn't snug up there good. I also pulled the stock bracket off of them and made my own

So turns out I don't have the iron rock trac bar. I actually have the entire rugged ridge system. Bracket, double sheer adjustable bar, and brace. I gotta get the brace mounted up sometime..mounts from the tb bracket to the unibody.

I ran add a leafs on my first xj.
Never had issues with them but im not cheeping out on any more things.
Speaking of $$$ lets see where im at now:
3 Link Materials: 350
Coils, Leafs: 300
Shocks: 150
HnT: 100
Tires/wheels: 300 Out of pocket
Brake lines, diff cover: 120
So just under 1500...not bad. Wish I would have bought bilsteins right off. Still eyeballing the 7100s.

Got to messing around under the jeep tonight...just seeing what all I could break.
Managed to get all my leaf spring bolts loose, rear shocks out, and didn't break anything
