Got to work the xj over on my clubs new freshly built ramp. Was able to get the front stuffed with tires turned to finally figure out my front bumpstop needs. Also picked up some rear disc backing plates today at pull a part. Going to see how much involved it will be if i can find new hardware at a parts store. See if it will be a significant saving over buying a teraflex kit.

I got some shots of your rig but PB is auto downsizing. You want them emailed?

Looks like trimming might be in the XJ's future
