'87 YJ Build
kirksjeep:
I have had good luck with the impacts that you strike with a hammer. Cheap and portable. As for the u-bolts, I just about always cut them off. My Bro- In Laws 94 YJ had the leaf spring bolts sieze inside the bushing, (Roger's XJ had the same problem). I ended up having to burn the rubber out with a torch. I did a 2" spacer lift in a friends TJ a few weeks ago, and even with it being a 2004 I had to cut the Front shocks out. Good Luck.

Yeah, I managed to get the U-bolts off but that track bar just wont give. Stupid torx bolt. I hate those things! They may be the first to get cut.
BlacXJeep:
Yeah, dont do the hack n tap. It sucks :P
One-Eye:
hahaha yeah funny story about that. Upon further investigation I do have a NP231!!! The pictures that I saw online originally showed the 207 looking a bit different from the 231. Turns out they look identical. You have to look at the model number. I managed to get enough crap off if it to make out the 231. Drove me effin nuts when I found out. Did manage to get the passenger rear quarter lift almost done. With the schedule my boat has and the time it is taking to get this stuff off it will take me about a year to get the YJ lifted. Now I am having a little issue with geting the Leaf pin to line up with the perch hole. Just can't win. HAHAHAHA will have to wait a few weeks to continue.

So after a couple month break...underway...I FINALLY made some progress. Just have to put the driver side rear on and I am done, well, with the lift at least. Have to redo all the breaks because they are rusted to hell. I have a set of mounted 35x12.50 BFG KM2's coming tomorrow. So close to being rode worthy again. Didn't see anything about the July meeting but I might actualy be there for the August meeting. Who knows!
