ok simple question here, i just got a cheap replacement shock for my new 98 Cherokee with 4.5 inch lift. I will be replacing all shocks over summer to something better than these Gabriel pieces of crap, but i dont have either of the top bolts, what size/type would you recommend?

I have a 99 xj with a 2" BBC. It's spaced front, shackles rear. My leaf springs are a little inverted, is this how they are supposed to be? How bad is it to drive on inverted leaf springs?

They'll eventually break. It makes the ride uncomfortable, the rear sits lower, and bumps aren't absorbed anymore. You should replace them with a full leaf pack, or build a bastard pack with springs from another vehicle.
