Exclamation need help- will pay- northern va

putting a lift on my xj. its been quite a process. as of now I'm stuck and don't have the tools or honestly the knowledge/experience to continue myself.
I've installed the front lift.

heres what i need:
-in the rear the shock bolts both snapped off-need those drilled out or new holes or something done to hold shocks in/installed.
- on passenger side the leafspring bolts and shackle bolts are stuck and I dunno how to remove them. they are unscrewed and i think its that they are rusted to the collars in the bushings. need those pulled out and either you can put in new leaf n shackle or i can.
-maybbeeee a yj brake line

located in falls church, va. car is movable but don't want to take it very far. if interested in making some $ pm me with what you're asking to do these repairs.

Thanks

I'd help if I was further south.....Wish I had more extra time too. I hate school lol.

But hey, on the upper shock bolts...The access hole next to the mounts on the body; you can tape a nut to the open end of the wrench and fish it through that hole and start a bolt into the nut. I wish I could take a pic but my jeep is at my parents house at the moment.

For the bushings; Have you tried getting a pry bar or something and tried to pull that bolt out? I ended up welding the bushing to my leaf springs and just kept unscrewing it out.

Hey I had a lift installed by a mechanic named Renaldo at the Liberty gas station in Falls Church, check him out. He is a good mechanic but he might be retired by now. But I recommend him. I couldn't install it because my driveway is way to steep to really work on mine.

Heres the address phone etc,
