Re: Help with XJ T-case lowering kit...
A friend has one spun out and he is coming over 'some' day to have me

bolt head welded to the frame won't be in the way.

Re: Help with XJ T-case lowering kit...
Kinda, its a stud with a nut fastened inside the frame so you can remove and
reinstall the stud and the nut will stay inside the rail. I found a really
cool site that shows exactly what you are dealing with.
