Hi guys,

I've been installing a 4.5" lift on my 93 cherokee and I'm seasoned in the motor side of things but not suspension. I'm having trouble lining up the passenger side. I couldn't get the extended lower control arm to line up, so I undid the upper control arm show here :










Now I can't get the front upper controller arm to line back up, and I've used all the swear words I have for the day, ones I didn't even know I knew.

Are there other things I should loosen/remove to get more "play" for lining things up ? the track bar is loose, the only other things attached is the tie rod ends.

Cheers
Grant

Sway bar unhooked?

Use a ratchet strap to pull the axle forward until it lines up.

realien

Yes, first thing I did

realien

Thanks, I'll give that a shot

Whenever I disconnect mine I use the ratchet strap to pull the top of the axle back by attaching the other end to the crossmember or a hole in the frame

I like to use two floor jacks under the axle and then one or two ratchet straps to pull it into place.

i always have the same problems, i would try the floor jack to tilt the pumpkin back and forth. if not use a ratchet strap to your rear axle or another jeep, in the past i have used a come along to pull the axle back to get stuff hooked up....
