Mo' better. Got some new shock eye bushings, which pressed in well and have an ID to match the OD of the sleeves, spread open the bracket a bit and shaved down the edges of the bushings a bit, and...

Yes. If I understand the fellow at the 4WD store correctly, but using BPE's you effectively lengthen the shock because the BPE causes the upper to be stand off of the body. He says, that you then...

90* would be better. Not sure how to shop for shocks that are shorter than what the store will have on record for the XJ.

The title of this thread should probably change to BPE.

The angle that the upper eye rests in the sway bar bracket when it's used as a BPE solution doesn't look nice at all. I'm frustrated by this...

Looking for shocks that don't natively have the bar pins to eliminate.

I put on four new Sensatrac's, which I got for around $25 ea. I bought them before I decided to yank the sway bar and do the...

I'm still confused on the use of the metal sleeves found in the sway bar bushings. Some resources online show using them in the BPE solution, and other don't. One resource that seems to be...

It was a good Jeep day today. Got three projects done.

After butchering up some rubber bushings, I bought some replacements. Much larger OD than what I needed, so I set up a belt sander like I do...

Why do you need to use the metal sleeves in the upper shock bushings? The lower bushing mounts on a metal post. When using rear sway bar bushing brackets for bar pin eliminators you use the big bolt...

I got one started with something like that. My vice doesn't open far which limits how deep of a socket I can use. Once I got it started it sent ok, but it bound up and those little teeth dug in,...

I'm trying to use the rear sway bar brackets as bolt eliminators. Bought a cut off wheel today to get the bolt pins out of my stock shocks. That worked fine, but pressing the sway bar bushing metal...

OK. Slight emergency.

Do you have to use the toothed metal sleep from the swaybar bushings when you turn them into BPE's. I got the pin out of one shock and have butchered the shock bushing...

Cleaned and painted the mounting brackets from the sway bar. All ready to bolt them on the rear.

Recently replaced all the shocks with some Monroe Sensitrac LT's that I got a really great deal...

Done, and done.

Can I use the bolts that attach the sway bar links to the axle to mount the shocks to the bar pin eliminator brackets? Probably have my terminology all wrong, but you folks know...

Got the bar out and want to get that bracket for shock pin eliminator use. Can I get away with taking it off jacked up by the axles, or I do I need to have the axle lowered?

Probably 2" or 3". I don't have any money really, so it will be whatever I can fashion from the junkyard or someone's castoff budget boost. I don't want to have to drop the TC or cut anything. Just a...

Thinking bastard pack project for the rear part of a budget boost, and have seen some videos on the process that suggest that permanent removal of the sway bar, and sway bar links; stating that none...
