Morning all,

On my 99 Cherokee the upper control arms aren't lining up on the front "axle". It appears that it needs to rotate towards the rear about 1/2". What is the best way to go about this with only one person? Or, is it down to upgrading the control arms?

This was after install of the Supreme Suspensions' 3 inch front puck, 2" rear shackle.

"Ratchet Straps" can be your best friend for shifting axles into position.

X2, ratchet straps. I've swapped out arms and front axle by myself with hand tools in a parking lot. You can do it.

put a floor jack under the spring cup and lift it slowly that will twist the axle too.
