Ordered a RC 3" lift today. Can't wait to put it on!
Need to find wheels and tires now.

the stealership sells those bushings for $30 each and they are made of brass. Just throwing the info out.

Volvo Wagon, 1991?

On topic:Yesterday I installed 8 LED lights in interior stock locations. Now I can see inside without a shop light.
Cleaned all the sand out of engine bay and interior. It still cleans up nice...

Default NEW SPRINGS
Starting to replace my worn out springs, the rear spring bolt came out fairly easy BUT AND A BIG BUT the front spring bolt will not budge..The fight goes on I think the Bolt is winning so far.

Penetrating fluid and a large breaker bar or pipe is what is needed for that front leafspring bolt. The handle from a hi-lift jack works great.

That's a recipe for breaking it possibly, apply torch to bolt head till it's red hot.
