Since my BN2 has adjustable shock plates I got the QJ so it would be 
easier to lift and lower it repeatedly when changing camber and toe 
settings. Put a 2" spacer under the shock bumper pads and you can get 
pretty close to normal ride height, set camber and toe, take if for a 
spin to check the ride, rinse and repeat.

My BFF bought my dad's '55 T-Bird and a QJ on my recommendation; he's 
happy with both.
