    Now to figure out where to buy the stuff!! The adjustable is a little more expensive and more than what I need so I'll go with the Emulsion... I'm a little confused on how to get the right valving/length though. I don't see anywhere where a part# is specific to a valving combo.

    I'm also going to replace the UCA's and ball joints with the JBA's. What else should I do while I've got it all apart? I need to do this all in one shot because I can't have the XK down longer than a day. I put MOOG sway bar bushings on last year but I'm pretty sure they're worn already... is there anything better or do I just replace them again?

    Thanks for all the advice so far.

    Sway bar bushings- i actually had a problem with my moog replacements wearing out in just a few months, put OEM ones in and have been good since.

    FOX socks- You need P/N 980-02-038-A. When you order them (ask Jon if he can get FOX, otherwise order from 4WP or Offroadwarehouse using price-match to the cheapest place you find), you specify the valving you want. It'll take a little longer than the same p/n off the shelf, but it'll be valved more specific to your vehicle. Off-the-shelf valving is 40/60 i believe. You'll also want to order 2 sets of these to replace the bearings and keep noises at a minimum: http://offroadwarehouse.com/products...productID/3771
