Another Lift question... let the flaming begin.
Your definition of "light off roading" must be different from mine. What kind of obstacle(s) are we talking about here? Have you actually attempted these and failed or is it more of a, I don't think it will make it, situation?- recoil44

Thanks. Too bad pictures don't do these tires justice, they look much better in person. Kind of like this pic. It doesn't give a good feel for just how hard it was to get in and out of the Jeep for the photo op.:icon_lol:- recoil44

Bitchy Frozen Plug! Have a laugh...
It shouldn't have. I'll bet someone drained first and then when they couldn't get the fill plug off they found another way to fill it... overfill it actually. I got my replacement plugs from here: http://www.factorymoparparts.com/ OIL FILL PLUG 68001627AA 2 0.58 Cheap...- recoil44

Back from the shop. The only thing they had to adjust on the alignment was the toe. No rub on the pinch weld but some on the front liner/air dam with a full turn. Scared the crap outta me when I backed out of the parking spot. I think the air dam is gonna have to come off, not sure if I...- recoil44

Had the exact same problem. My solution was a stubby easyout (Hanson 53211) and an electric impact wrench (Kawasaki 840017).- recoil44

Take the caliper off. Don't let it hang by the brake line. I used a metal coat hanger. Just cut off the hook part and bend the wire as needed.- recoil44

It's done. No major difficulties with the back end. I'm getting a little bit of rubbing with the 35" BMG MTs. This will go away once the lift settles in right?- recoil44

Gear Swap to 4.10
No reason to change if you're sticking with stock sized tires.- recoil44

Update: End of Day 2 of the lift install. The 2nd spring compressor had thinner hooks but they wouldn't fit either so I took it to a shop and they were able to extract the parts. When I picked it up I dropped off the other set and they managed to squeeze it in just before the end of the day...- recoil44

Yeah, I think in the future this will be filed under "I'd rather pay someone else to do it". I'll see how it goes tomorrow. I'm not sure I could carry both sets of springs and shocks on the bike though.- recoil44

Started installing my OME lift today. Wasn't going toooo bad, a few little things here and there. UCA ball joint not wanting to separate was getting to me but eventually it popped loose (few light taps my ass). With the "strut" assembly out it was on to phase 2. The rented spring...- recoil44
