Yes,,,
When crawlin around and ya don't have 3 feet to work all 3 pedals. Unless your di** is long enough to reach ya need it. Well not need,,, but it makes it a LOT easier.

And FORGET about using it as a "poor mans" cruise control. That's a BIG nono.

Hey, I didn't need new bolts when I changed my oEM leafs out. Heat and liquid wrench baby gets it done.

I will say though, there's a great chance the bolts will seize up in the sleeves

Liquid wrench baby. Wtf is that.

I can guarantee those bolts were chewed up. And if you like me you prefer to not put junk back on your xj. But most aren't like me
