Ok,
Just bought 6" lift, SYE, and C.V. Drive shaft. It has begun. Mohrbicon V.2 Can't wait for some decent weather to get here and stay here so I can start wrenching.

Well I was looking into that a little bit. All the ones that I saw had welding and cutting involved. Cutting doesn't scare me but I do not have a welder. I will be away here and there often in the near future so it has to be simething that I can do here and there without leaving my Jeep at someones house (someone that does have a welder). That was one of the biggest reasons.

yes there is cutting and welding involved but not a lot all you need is new perches front and rear and most likely a anti wrap bar in the rear but all the welding can be done in a week end the hardest part to work out is the steering and deciding on what to do most people i know with a d30 up front run this bracket

So I finally had some free time to start messing around with the Jeep. Attempted to remove the rear leaf springs. Attempted being the key word here. I vastly underestimated the amount of rust and how strong it can be when left unchecked for 25 years!!!
Broke one bolt on the leaf spring, cannot get the shock bolts or the U-bolts loose. That is just the passenger side rear! Also tried to re-install the rear seat. The guy I bought it from took it out about 7 years ago and put the bolts back in so he wouldn't loose them. Broke 2 out of the 4 on those too. ??? ??? ??? I sprayed everything on that jeep with WD-40 and PB Blaster 3 times before even attempting any removal.
My question is this... Is there a trick to removing rusted bolts that I am not privy to. I really don't want to have to drill half of the bolts out. I am going to be buying all new hardware because some of the ones that I was able to remove looked pretty beat up. I really hope that the differential bolts come out easier!!! God help me.
On a side note, it felt great to turn some wrenches on a Jeep again.
