Intalling a 4.5 in rough country lift. Is there a secret to getting these coils in? I have everything unhooked that the instructions say, but I need a nother 2 inchs to get the coils in.

 

are you using a coil spring compressor?

 

i tried but i couldnt seem to get them to compress far enough, but there also harbor freight junk, and im afraid the compressors will snap. i will try that again.

 

Take the bottom bolt of the track bar off

 

i did. also pulled the drag link? i think thats the proper name for it haha

 

Are the control arms off too

 

That's the key

 

Had the lowers off. Ended up tightening the crap outta the spring compressors and squeezed the coils in. Thanks for the help

 

well not sure what your front suspension is but I just drooped the axle, with the sway bar disconnected and popped her in there

 

Take the brakes off and the lower control arms and all that...and they will go right I just did this on Saturday for my lift...it works

 

Stay clear of spring compressers I almost lost my hand when I used them

 

Got the whole front end done but I need more help. For the back what did everyone do to extend the parking brake cable? Also I cracked the steel part of my brake line while trying to put the extension bracket on. What is the best line to use on a 4.5 in lift in the rear?

 

I'm seeing yj brake line are good for 4" lift, is this for the rear? If so what part of the brake line do I replace? I cracked the steel part of the line right by the bracket coming off the uniframe rail.

 

i never extended my emergency brake line and have yet to have a problem...as for the brake line bracket just bend the hard line (dont snap it) till you have enough slack in the flex line part then just fab a new mount your self might take 20 min and some hardware store nuts and bolts..all it really has to do isw be able to hold the brake line in place it dosent have to be pretty

 

sh#$ my bad i think i might have read that wrong...if you snapped the brake line itself then just go steal braided or with the yj one
