What color are you getting?
The matching color... gonna see how the bumper looks painted to match, but matte.
Okay. Il grab 4. Can you tell me where to buy my bump stops for when we swap?

I think it should look pretty good, like the South African bumper pics. Was that an XK or WK in SA?
2007 Commander Overland / 4" SuperLift / 285/70R17 Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx / Rusty's adjustable rear UCAs / Carolina Driveline front drive shaft / Flashpaq / DRLs & Tilting Mirrors / Autolite Iridiums / Cobra 29LX Chrome LE CB & Firestik antenna / Rear fog lights / Mopar Grille Guard with HID driving lights

That was a white XK with the Maniac (South African) bumpers. ... my goal is that overall setup. I'll be almost there after the superlift
Seeing how we both pretty much have Superlift rear's already (minus their rear LCA's) can you order just the front components? If so what's the price?
2007 4.7 Liter XK | Front Modified OME HD Lift | Rear 4" Superlift | JBA UCA's | Rusty's Rear Adjustable Track Bar | Rysty’s Adjustable Upper and Lower Rear Control Arms w/Heim Joints | Mickey Thompson Classic III 17x9 Wheels | 315/70R17 Goodyear Duratracs | Airflow Snorkel | Flowmaster 40 Series Muffler | Superchips Flashpaq | Mopar Skids | 4xGuard Belly Guard | American Rebel Rear Diff Cover | Rear Powertrax No-Slip | Front Electronic Locker | Rear Heat/AC Delete
Also need the uca and traction bar brackets.. pretty much the only thing I won't use from the SL kit is rear shocks and springs.
Well I'd probably get adjustable UCA's and I have an adjustable track bar that's already adjusted perfectly. I am going to get the rear UCA's and LCA's in the next few months. Was just wondering if you can order just the parts for the front instead of having to get the whole kit if and when the time comes? If not I'll have a ton of extra parts

Adjustable arms arent a replacement for the brackets. Lateral motion increases linearly as the angle of the pivoting member increases. So you can adjust those arms all you want and it'll look pretty sitting there, but then when the suspension starts moving your axle will be swinging all over the place.
You want the control arms and track bar to be as flat as possible at normal ride height to reduce lateral motion throughout the range of suspension travel (side to side from the trackbar, front to back and pinion rotation from the control arms)
Running some quick numbers with both cases (yours without brackets and mine with brackets) and 8" of droop from ride height, your axle will shift forward about 5" vs my 2", and will shift to the driver side about 1.6" vs my .75".
Also, considering I want to run between 5-6" lift the brackets are definitely needed.
So you could order just the front kit... but I wouldn't recommend it. Get the full setup so you can maximize your rear suspension travel and minimize lateral movement.
