It looks like a gimmick, but I rode in a JKU with these coils on- and off-road. Smooth as silk in both situations, great flex, and they don't drop out. I've also talked to a couple XJ guys who made the leap to MC kits, and they love them

I have a 2000 XJ and as I'm driving if I let my foot off the gas I get this loud clanking/grinding noise from under the rear driver side. Almost sounds like gear teeth barely catching as they rotate. Any ideas?

Got around to installing my 784s today. I kept tearing o-rings when installing the front 2 injectors into the fuel rail, for some reason those 2 were significantly tighter than the other 4....but after tearing a few I let some o-rings soak in oil and finally got them to go. Seem fine so far, about to take it for a spin now.

I always recommend using Vaseline when installing injectors

Guard Dogs installed and alignment checked. Alignment was perfect from last year done myself. They wanted to charge me $100 to adjust the toe lol. Told them its where I want it. As for the Treadwrights they balanced with absolutely no problem and ride really nice. They have a mild mud terrain hum that Im digging. Only got about 30 miles on em today but I am completely satisfied. Will update after some serious miles.
