bar pin eliminators remove the bar pins, the bar pins are the weak link in the shock and usually cause bushing wear. Also, changing shocks is easier and you gain an inch or two back in the shock.

It is more connivence than anything, but it also eliminates the thud from the shocks

Okay, great straightforward explanation - thanks 96_xj! I think I need those, been thinking about it but I wasn't sure that they're what I should get. But the clunk when I wheel is in the front. It doesn't do it on-road. Still need BPEs?

Love the color of that XJ - especially with the clear lights. Bet it looks awesome when clean & shiny.
