Man I wish I had that lift and shop to work in. Jack stands are just not the same.

I used front spacers and rear add a leaf. My hats off to anyone that does this on their back with jack stands....couldn't imagine doing that. Finished the lift but the brake line running from the master to the rear rotted out. Tried to just cut and flare it half way along the frame but it was too rusted, so I'm running a whole new line today.

I am also spoiled by a hoist. I almost refuse to work on my back anymore. It won't take it anymore. My XJ BB is spacers, shackles and take off JK shocks.

Good luck with yours.

All done. Ran the brake line today. Just waiting for my shocks from poly performance. The stock ones are in there but the rears are maxed out....
