Don't do that. The chance of breaking the welds on the nut inside the unibody will break. Then you need to cut a hole in the unibody.

PB blaster and steady pressure.

This


Honestly the bolts either comes out without a huge effort.... Or it completely ****s you super hard.

It's a bad day either way.

Good choices, but why a MML?

In a Wrangler, it's used for the same effect as a TC drop. In a Cherokee, it can cause problems with hood clearance and also with cooling because the fan is moved 1" upward. May contact the shroud; not sure.

You may not have issues, but I suggest a little research.

Or in combination with a body lift and flat belly skid for more clearance

Installed RC shackle relocation brackets to fix my 90degree shackle angle. Sitting about 55 degrees now. But found shot leaf/shackle bushings.
