There's probably a dozen reasons nobody has done this, and a dozen more why it won't work like I want.

But I've really got nothing to lose. For one, I just can't drive the XJ like it is. With the angles that far off, the driveline vibes are just awful. I know I'll kill another ujoint before long. Two, I really don't have the cash for a decent pair of leaf packs right now. And with three different club meetings in the next seven days, "right now" is the timeframe I have to work with. Three, what's the worst that can happen? I could kill the leaves I've got, that are already way past retirement age anyway.

But most importantly, it's something I've always wondered about trying. This is as good an opportunity as I'm likely to see. I figure what the hell, worth a shot.

A WrenchMonkey's greatest joy is the flinging of poo, and his ultimate goal is simply to see what sticks!

Wish me luck!
