im kinda hitting a road block with this install, i purchased some used adjustable lca's for my 88 cherokee. tried installing but the metal sleeve in the bushing seems to be too wide. if i remove the bracket then it's really loose in there even with washers to try to get it to be snug. would i be missing something to install or do i just need to work on getting that bracket a little wider to fit these arms in. just trying to get the jeep finished up before the weekend and this is one of the last things holding me up. any help is appreciated
thanks a bunch!!!

 

Pry the stock brackets open.

 

^^ what he said, im in the process of putting some on my 88 also. Mine dont have a problem fitting in the bracket. Question though, are your coils still installed or no? I had to take my coils out to get my axle far enough forward.

 

the springs are out, in the process of a whole new lift up front, rear is done finally.... and thanks i'll try prying them when i get home tonight.. hopefully that will work...

 

Same here, all new lift with new arms. I put coils in first and couldnt get the damn axle far enough forward to squeeze new arms in, so now im taking coils out to put arms in.

 

gotta love doing things twice especially the install of springs... ugh so frustrating... i tried to pry it open before with no luck.. might have to go pick up a larger pry bar this evening..

 

You could try lining it up and using a floor jack under the arm, it might be enough to press it up into the mount, unless it is way too big

 

great idea... if i can't get the pry bar to work then i'll try the jack idea.... ugh so frustrating but i'm so close after this side the other side should be easy... (fingers crossed) then i gotta do the tc drop.. hopefully that goes smoothly

 

tc drop is nothing, jack under cross-member, pull the bolts, lower slowly till it is far enough from the unibody to put in your spacers then bolt back up. Im having issues with my arms too, hopefully when I get my coils out they will go in smooth

 

i have the studs, and the way this lift has been going.. well i'm not hopeful.. took the day off work tomorrow so hopefully can get all this done.. plus the alignment...
