Now that my XJ is running a measured 5.5" of lift, I really need to install longer shocks up front. The 5-6" lift Bilstein 5100s for the XJ appear to be the perfect length (adding 4" of downtravel), however, I got to thinking about it as I always do...
Are there any obvious advantages in converting the upper stem mount to a traditional eye mount? I've seen a handful of people do it, but I'm not sure if it was necessary due to the shocks they chose, or if there's a notable mechanical advantage to doing so.
If there's no real reason to do it, I'll just stick with the stem style for now. Thanks in advance!
