looking to get a few parts. I've been looking at the jks front shock stem adaptors but when looking on there web site i see 3 different style. second question is what style bar pins are best for the lower shock mounts on the front and tops of the rear shocks. once again jks has like 3 different styles but i also see rustys off road have there own style of them. and third question is looking to get rear bump stops. i have a rustys off road 4.5 lift and there rear leafs. what brand and style rear pump stops are recommended? ill be getting once and adding them to my front coil buckets just need something for the rear.

I like the Iron rock off road bpe. They move the bottom of the shock out a little.

those are almost like the ones from rustys off road. is there a diff in the diff styles?

I only see them with two versions of the stem adapter for the XJ. Read the description - ones for a bushing-less racing shock, the other is for a typical 5/8" bushing.

As for the bar pin eliminator, the only thing here to think about is how easy they are to mount. The whole idea is to compress the bushing from side to side. the JKS ones are installed in a vice on the shock and then installed on the truck already fitted to the shock body. The IRO bracket must be an already collapsed opening that you must sort of wedge the shock eye into position. That's kind of how the upper JKS mount works. The thing that sucks about that is it a b*tch to get that shock in there and the edge of the bracket usually cuts into the bushing before it slips on. You then bend the bracket as you crank down on the bolt before it bottoms out on the sleeve inside the shock bushing.

I run the JKS ones top and bottom, they're nice.
