Default bilstein 7100 in cherokee?

im looking at picking up a set of bilstein 7100s for my xj in a few weeks but im not sure how to mount the front uppers and cant find anything online about it, i could do hoops if i had to but thats just an extra cost for the material plus paying someone to weld in hoops, plus i would like to get unibody stiffeners in before i was to get hoops in. rant over, what would be the best way to do it until i do get hoops??

will they fit in the stock location or do you need the hoops for more uptravel. if you need more uptravel then you need to do custom hoops. if you can mount them in the stock location get pin elimators

might just be lack of sleep but i can not find the pin elminators from the upper straight pin to a normal heim like mount like the 7100s are, i wouldnt go crazy on hoop height since not gonna have tons of rooms for lots of uptravel

shock length wise im gonna order them to fit where ever i end up mounting them

Read the description of the JKS adapters please. They are more expensive but they are worth it IMHO.
