I use to work in the bicycle industry and rebuilt a lot of forks and shock over that 10 years and the only benefits of inverting a shock is slightly lower center of gravity (so small it wouldn't be noticed on a XJ) and making sure the internals are always bathed in oil. Automotive shock internals are always bathed in oil so the inversion makes no difference.

Can anyone off the top of their head give me a link to a lift kit that is truly made cheaper without the shocks?? I don't want these double tube shocks these kits come with but I don't see the price changing w/o shocks on any of these kits...really annoying

Anybody with this track bar:
Running it on 2.5" of lift?
It says 2.5-5.5" of lift required but I'd he worried about the clearance with the diff cover at a lower lift height. It is cheaper than the JKS and the only other TB that says it will work with 2.5" lift. If I need a new TB I'd rather upgrade.
EDIT: okay well everywhere else I look at the RE1600 says 3.5" minimum so I guess that's out of the question

A lot of people say that 3" of lift is where a TB is required but, when I had 3.5" lift, it was waaaaay off. So in my mind it's gonna be off enough at 2.5" to need an adjustable TB.
What sucks is at that height there isn't many options, basically JKS, RC or Rustys. RC and Rusty's as far as I can tell is pretty much the same TB. Both use tie rod ends, both seem to have bad reviews and I'd rather not have the TB snap on the highway. JKS is kind of expensive but its also only single shear. I could modify a stock bracket to make it double, or at least weld a washer on there to make the hole level and not beveled.
Dammit, why can't someone make a double shear TB setup for low lifts.

Definitely don't want to drill/relocate, A: I drive it everyday on the highway and that little shred of metal that's left makes me nervous and B: I ****ing hate drilling holes. Lol

good or bad?
Out of sheer boredom I decided to go ahead and install my Spartan locker in the new carrier and install the new ring gear.
Everything went together fine except the little retainer pin you drive in to hold the center pin in. It went in all the way except right to the end then just quit. Mushroomed the end a little bit but filed around the edges to remove any burs.
Will it be okay like this? The pin made it all the way through the center pin and into the other side so it is not going anywhere. Just want to make sure I can leave it like this or do I need to get a Dremel tool to clean it up some. Hard to get in that little space.
