Factory bump stops. What is the best way to put them on?

Well, first you grab your wrench (I think it's a 13 or 15mm... not sure) and unbolt <scribble> snap off the heads of the bolts holding the original bumpstop on.
Then you bolt the new one on <scribble> curse a lot, grab the angle grinder, clean the rust and undercoating off the bottom of the frame rail, clean the excess rubber off the mounting tabs of the new bumpstop, and tack weld them in place.

This is for the front? Don't recall seeing that.

Oh, the front is way easier. I've never actually bothered, but the rubber part comes out of the socket and iirc on some years the socket unscrews with a big pipe wrench.

96 XJ stock, no rust, 4 door, new BFG AT's, 190,000 miles. What you guys think its worth, if its in good mechanical condition.
A guy wants to trade me one plus 1K for the bonny. Wife isn't sure about pre 97 interior though.
To me (altough i ussually find awesome deals) it isn't worth more than 2k. I bought my 2 door with some rust and only 152K miles for $1500.

Timmy, they just need to be pushed into the tower, not always easy but they will go. try using a prybar to wiggle it in.

I used a small bottle jack and a block of 4x4 to push my stops in. Although I had no springs on at the time. Be careful doing that as it can come flying at you if you are not squared off.

You know that part where the shocks slam into the bottom of the shock body?
Wait, that's what bumpstops are for I think.
