I installed RC's BPEs and couldnt say anything bad about them. They went in super easy, very straight forward and I've had no issues since. Nuff said. Oh and they were cheap too!!

Im kinda disappointed with them I could have made some better ones my self
i dont have a welder, couldnt i just fill the gap inside of the bpe with washers to preload the bushing?

yeah if you use some washers that could probably work but the bolt holes don't line up either so you have to drill them out

it turns out the bushings I was using at first were the wrong ones ( too small) so that is all set.
but the holes are still not drilled in the right spots to bolt the bpes to the original shock mount.

My only complaints about mine are when you tighten the shock bolt they squeeze tight and bend. No complaints really. I used them on my budget boost to get my shocks back in the right lift height range

They fit my 2001 XJ with no problem.

If you pull your rear sway bar you can take the end link mount off the leaf pack and it flips to work perfectly as a rear bpe... I did this on mine a month ago... Don't even notice the rear sway bar is gone
