The Mud Pit > Wrenching
In over my head
BayouGold:
I tried installing my 44 by myself today with disastrous results. The hi lift kicked out & dumped the rear twice. I hate to ask & I know tomorrow's the super bowl but if anybody can lend a hand for a little bit tomorrow it would be much appreciated. The main thing is getting it on jackstands & the old axle from underneath. everything's undone just the bolts in the shocks & lower arms holding the axle on. It's in a friend's driveway 3 doors down from Axle. I could pay a little to anybody that shows up.
calvynandhobbs:
Are those jackstands even tall enough to hold the frame of your Jeep up to get the axle out? I'm heading off to coach a basketball game tonight and I have church in the morning, but I'll have to see what kind of time I have tomorrow afternoon.
rocket:
was the spot where the hi-lift positioned ice free?
kirksjeep:
Do your self a favor and go buy some tall jack stands. Mine are rated for 6 tons, but they are also tall. You need to get them tall enought to support the frame with the axle at full droop. I would lend you mine, but I still am not done my swap, and they are under my frame. The good news is that the D35 only weights about 120 lbs or so.
BayouGold:
no the jack was on pavement,the jeep kicked over that way towrads the ice when it fell
