Do you have to lift the vehicle in order to replace control arms?
I just saw this video and it's filled me with a bit of hope that I don't have to go back to the shop to adjust the control arms on my jeep. Do any of you know how easy/hard it would be to remove all control arms and re-install adjusted properly with the vehicle on the ground?

As for adjustment, unless you have an angle finder, you'll want to take it for an alignment afterwards.

Easy as long as you chock the wheels and only do one arm at a time.

Limited trim. Also had heated mirrors in late models
They go back to the early 90s. Briarwood models may have also had them if I recall correctly

Would the limited trims come with the chrysler 8.25? Aiming for a 99 XJ Limited. Getting another one just want to get it perfect this time. Googling and wikipedia are only so specific.

Axles are still mixed. Limited also had heated seats, premium audio, leather interior, and some other options that lower models couldn't get.

If you need to cut some 3/8 (?) Transmission hard line but dont have room near the bends to work a proper tube cutter, can a dremel with cutting wheel be used if the edges are cleaned up?
