Okay,

I am like 10 hours into my 3 inch lift on my 1998 XJ and I have hit a brick wall. The last thing I need to do is put the stupid upper bushing, washer, and nut on the piston stud for my front shocks. I put it on a bit and hit it with the wrench and it starts to spin the piston all together. What are some ways to stop this so I can spin it all the way down and tighten up. What ever you guys got will surely help. Last step!!!

 

There should be a small square area at the top of the shock that you can get a little wrench or a pair of Vise-Grips on it to hold the rod.

 

X2^

 

If theres no spot to put a wrench take vice grips and put a rag over the pluers and clamp the very top of the shock to stop it from spinning

 

that is what I ended up doing...lift complete. Thanks guys.
