Moving on to the passenger rear,...things got exiting. Broke the front leaf bolt off,..had to cut the dam spring in two than chop up the end to get up in to the bolt! Ugh! Than i cut a hole right below the nut so I could knock it off with a punch.

By the way,..I'm installing a 'budget boost' system by Quadratech which is basically extended shackles and coil spacers. Also I'm adding new leaf springs new coils and all new bushings for front and rear sway bars.

Sway bar links replaced,...all poly bushings. If you're jeep is old and rusty like mine you might as well buy new sway bar links if you are replacing bushings. Both mine broke while trying to remove the nuts. They were like 12 bucks each not too bad
