Well I got the lift kit in Saturaday AND Sunday, only 3 major problems. The 3 bolts on the A-arm spacer was aweful to get to, and was metric as I should have known(22mm I think, I ground a 13/16 a little and it fit. The pitman arm came off with the usual evil elbow grease(can't use the impact gun as it can break the steering box I'm told), then of course the castle nut stripped going back on and I had To make one from scratch. Putting the Drop arm back on I didn't line up the steering wheel so now its off by like 40 degrees(lol).
The springs, shocks and sway bar links(front discos-woohoo!) went in easy in about 2 hours(just like my BB did).
The WJ is now much "bouncier" than before but smoother on hard bumps. It has a certain "floaty" feel about it, I'm sure it will be way better offroad. I just need some 265/75/16s to complete it.
I ran out of time and did not put the t-case drop kit in. I now know I need to as I'm getting the vibes. Mine only came with 2 pieces and 4 bolts. Is this correct? They are 2 aluminum blocks about 4"x2"x2" with 2 holes in them top to bottom. Is there more than this needed? It was a used kit from a very reputable guy but he got it from one of his customers. Can anyone give a pic of the t-case dropped and give any insight on doing it? It sounds pretty straight-forward.
Thanks
Paul
