Haha yea its got its fair share of rust. U bolts VISUALLY look OK. Who knows they might snap when trying to get them off. But ill need new ones anyway right? And my shackles are a mess. Vompletely rotten. So that'll be fun when I get to changing my shackles. The main reason why I'm going with bastard pack for now

center pins you can use a reg grade 8 bolt like i did and grind the edges off the head of the bolt... keep the nut side up... PB blaster is your friend... take the shocks off on the lower end... dont try on the top yet... lol... and the sway bar bolts shouldnt be to bad... disconnect the brake line and thats it... may not even have to pull the drive shaft if you just lower it down enough to do what ya gotta but i recommend it... U bolts if you plan to do a larger lift in the next year or so they will be fine... they tend to stretch over time but its not like they will ever just bust off... maybe get loose after a little bit but nothing major like people freak out about... however if they are a pain and rusted up then replace them...

And I'm so scares with those top shock bolts. This is my DD. So I can't have it out of commission at all. Main part I'm worried about is what I'm gonna do about shocks. I wanna boost it up about 3 inches. And free told me they're at their Max at that height
