Re: XJ leaf spring conversion
Thing is, he went to a lot of trouble to fix his steering geometry, which he
ended up replacing anyway because the leaf spring conversion interfered with the steering!! There are a number of kits avaiable to fix highly-lifted steering issues on XJ/TJ, and I don't know why he calls long-arm kits "trial and error." I guess a "because I can" is as good a reason as any... I would be concerned about those front shackles, as the unibody frame was never designed to have shackles mounted there....
