Forgot to put this in the last post, the wire in the new springs is a lot thicker, so they were only like an inch and a half longer, so no coil compressors needed.

I had I **** ton of trouble out of the back, but it is finally apart and ready to go back together. Had a hard time with the front bolts on the leafs, i just cut the eyes off and cut the bushings so i could hold on to the metal sleeve because the bolts were seezed in them. And all 4 shock bolts broke. Here are some pics.

I have to get a magnet stick thing tomorrow so I can get the shock bolts out so they dont rattle around, and some tie wire to fish the new bolts through. Then I just have to put it back together and I'm done. But I have to wait on my extended rear line before I can drive it.

Got a couple more pics, the rear gutted, the track bar relocation, and the old parts pile.

i dont see why you didn't spend the little extra money and get an adjustable trac-bar the axle side braket is flimsy enough without you drilling another hole in it...other than that nice jeep

I am planing on it, that is why I didn't spend a great deal of time drilling the new hole, but the factory holy is kind of buggered up, I am going to make a plate and weld on to reinforce it when I get a new track bar

Here she is on the ground, finally. I hope the leafs settle a lot, because I Am at like five inches over stock right now, and it looks like a dragster. Also definantly time for some new wheels and tires.
