Glad you got that fixed. I need to do my rear brakes soon. Not much pad left on them

Replaced my SuperLift front crossmember yesterday. It was a six our job (with two of us) because you have to remove the CVs to remove the drop bracket bolts! Found out my drivers-side CV was so stiff I had to pry it to get it to move enough to remove it (could explain the poor gas milage and all the clicking when I turned). SuperLift has beefed up the X-member so hopefully it won't bend as easily now. The new one went in fairly easily and now the tire rubbing is gone since they sit about an inch forward from where they were with the bent X-member. Today, we get the skid plates back on, then off for an alignment. I'm going back up to Moab for four days on Wednesday to see what else I can break!

Installed my new Monroe Load Leveler shocks (F150 version). No real issues except that I had the wrong size washers to use as spacers on the top and had to run to the hardware store. By the looks of the old OEM shocks that I took off, I guess I can say I got my moneys worth out of them (yes - I have the old shock completely compressed with two fingers). I also started PB blasting my front end so I can swap out the struts with the new OME struts as well as new control arm bushings and ball joints.

What is the part number for the shocks?
Tuesday night I installed a QD II front diff in my XK! No I've got QD III lol

Monroe 58643 Sensa-Trac Load Adjusting Shock Absorber. This is the version for an F150 that some are using on their XK's with a lift. There is also another model that would be a replacement for the stock XK shock, model 58646. If you go with the F150 size you'll have to use 3 washers as spacers in the mount on the inboard side of the shock since the upper mount on the shock is a little smaller than the XK shock.Originally Posted by fco27

Amazon had the best price I could find at $90.33 for the pair.
Does the XK still stay leveled with this shocks or does it lift more from the back? Another question is would this work if I install a RC lift?
