Hey gang, While removing the old bumpstops on the rear of the XJ, 3 of 4 bolts broke - no surprise. Given the location, they're difficult to drill out, has anybody tried welding new bumpstops on in the stock location? The new ones have 3/16" thick steel brackets.
Lift update: Can not budge front eye bolts or shackle bolts. Got the u-bolts free. Lower shock mount free, haven't tried the uppers yet. Rear sway bar is out, frame mounts came off easy but end links had to be cut off. I will be giving the rear another shot... another day of PB and I'm moving to the front end today. I might end up taking it into the shop for the leaf packs.. I'd rather pay a few bucks than be stranded in the driveway with no torches and no assistance!
