Front Shock Stem Eliminator For Jeep XJ

Front Shock Stem Eliminator for Jeep XJ / TJ / LJ (1984–2006)

Eliminate upper shock stem binding and upgrade to a true through-bolt mount.

This front shock stem eliminator kit converts the upper shock mount on your Jeep XJ or TJ/LJ from a factory-style stem to a standard through-bolt setup. That change eliminates the flex and bind commonly seen with stem mounts, giving you smoother suspension travel and more predictable ride quality — especially on rough trails or under articulation.

Cut from 3/16" plate steel and built to handle trail abuse, this is a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in long-term performance and reliability. It’s ideal for anyone running aftermarket shocks with eyelet ends or looking to simplify front shock service. Clean it up, weld it in, and drive harder.
