Alls well that ends well! Everything going good on the lift! Then I got to the rear. Snapped 2/4 bolts for the upper shocks, snapped the front driver side leaf bolt. The brake lines were so gunked they broke while cleaning them. It’s been an eventful day. The front went well. The rear. I will finish tomorrow because I’ve said enough curse words for one day!

On a positive note...say "Thank you Lord" that you found how bad the condition the brake lines were in while you were under the Jeep... and not when you were doing 70 down the highway.... always two sides... I prefer the bright one..

Sheesh I need to start PB blasting all my nuts and bolts just to get ahead of the game.... I mean, its probably going to be another couple of months before my lift goes on when I finally have all my parts (if quadratec will ship my stuff!!!))), but maybe i'll get lucky and not break anything...

You need a torch to get the leaf spring bolts out without snapping them.
