My new XJ has spacers on the front coils and sits level. How do I determine if the control arms are stock or longer after market arms and if the leaf spring shackles are stock? I need to know so I can order stock control arms and shackles when I remove the spacers and replace the leaf springs and coils. (Returning her to stock height.) Thanks!

Check out Core4X4 adjustables when you make the switch! Quality stuff. Just get help, or a come-along when you do the swap Originally Posted by Elivnitup

Oooh, those are pretty! Not sure why I would need adjustables though if I'm returning to stock...?
