I am planning to use a Jag irs on my 57 panel, so I'm curius if if you had any trouble with it?! Did you have cut out of the inside of framerail to make room for the springs?
Did you use the xjs 6 axle (61" wide)?
Would love to see more pics of it
Best of luck with rest of the build!

It went in pretty simple but I purchased a mounting kit from CWIINC.com before they fell off the face of the earth. Yes, they had to cut a notch out of the bottom of the frame rail for spring clearance. If you look closely at the pictures, you'll see they reinforced the frame with 1/2" plate to keep it sturdy. Yes, it is the 61" model from a '73 XJ6. I'll be getting more pics of it soon. It won't be long though before the frame goes off for blasting / painting.
