I've had it on my XJ for close to a year now. Definitely made the front end feel tighter on rough pavement. I had it installed at their facility, so there was no problems with installation. :laugh3:

I have no complaints.

Did they raise your trackbar up at the axle end at all Frank?

It kinda looks like they did but I can't tell.

No...the track bar is in it's stock axle location.

Cool. Any bumpsteer issues? Looks like they ran the steering under the knuckle to help with it. I'm going to make my own setup and i'm wondering if I should bother with moving my trackbar bracket or not.

No issues at all. I did have a slight "torque steer" feel at first. The vehicle would pull slightly left on acceleration, and slightly right on braking. I found the toe was toed out a bit. I set the toe so it was toed in a bit and everything has been fine since.

Awesome, thanks man. Looks like that's my next project. :wave:
