1990 XJ with V8 coils and 1" spacer/bastard pack in the back for 2.25" of lift
Yesterday I had my junk flexed out and noticed that the limiting factor in flex has become my stock control arms, or rather where they contact the mounting points on the axle. Seems that if there were more space in there, they could drop down more and give me more flex.
I THINK that I have read of a few people clearancing the mounts to allow more droop, am I just making this up or have people done this mod? It seems like hacking metal off the axle isn't the best idea, but I'm no expert.
I don't really plan on lifting it much more, at the most I would add an MJ shackle and .5" spacer up front to total 2.75" of lift, and don't really want to replace LCA's, but is there a replacement LCA option that would work well with this small of a lift and give me more clearance at the mounts? How much adjustment do adjustables have?
