The factory XJ rear suspension uses two upper shock mount locations — one forward of the axle and one behind — to manage axle wrap in the leaf spring setup. When converting to a 4-link coil suspension, the forward upper mount location is no longer geometrically correct for the new shock travel arc. Clayton's 4-link coil conversion relocates the upper shock mount to the rear position, using the existing factory rear mount plus this new weld-in bracket to complete the upper shock mounting setup. The bracket is configured for the stock-style XJ bar pin upper shock mount, allowing factory-style bar pin shocks to install without modification or adapters. Ships bare metal — weld in position, grind welds flush, and apply primer and paint before installation to prevent corrosion at the weld zone. Sold as a single bracket (1 upper mount).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAudit Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCOR-2201040\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Upper Shock Mount, 4-Link Coil Conversion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBar Pin (Stock XJ Rear Upper Shock Interface)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeld-In, Bare Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Bracket (Upper Mount)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFactory Mount Usage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUses 1 factory rear mount + this bracket for complete upper shock setup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShipping Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\" x 12\" x 1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVerified Fitment (OFAS Standard)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e✅ Fits 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ — Rear Upper Shock Mount, 4-Link Coil Conversion\u003cbr\u003e❌ Does NOT fit Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ\/WJ — different rear shock mount geometry\u003cbr\u003e❌ Does NOT fit Jeep Wrangler TJ\/YJ\/JK — different rear suspension architecture\u003cbr\u003e❌ Not compatible with factory leaf spring setup — 4-link coil conversion application only\u003cbr\u003e❌ Does NOT fit eye-style upper shock mounts — bar pin interface only\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Fabrication Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeld-in installation — professional fabrication required.\u003c\/strong\u003e This bracket must be welded to the XJ chassis.
