So i got my lift on, had to rebolt my shocks in, and now the leaf spring eye bolt is about all but 1in in, and it just spins, The leaf needs to go back, and im not sure how to line it up, everything is together but that

So my question is How?

Could I put the wheels on let the jeep weight fall push it back, then rachet it in, or what?

Ps the welded nuts arent broke, its just the leaf is to far to the back

loosen up booth bolts of the shackle end of the spring. the other should move enough to go in.

IF not.......a ratchet strap around the axle and attached somewhere solid will help you pull the axle whatever direction you want it to go

I never ever go wheeling without at least one big one with me.

I wish it was that simple, my breaker bar is gonna, and my buddy needs his jack stands back tomorrow, so this damn bolt needs to go back in, or I Gota put tires back on it and let it sit til payday

This is how i did it. I think you are on the right track. You are talking about the front bolt right?

Wrap a ratchet strap around the axle and pull it whichever way you need to pull it to line the bolt up. Again, sounding like BimmerJeeper. You even live near him.

Take a crow bar and wedge it around where the leaf mounts and pry different ways till you can get the bolt to thread, always works for me. Having a 2nd set of hands is easier, but its not bad to do solo.

The ratchet strap and (carefully) letting the jack down both seem like good ideas. Hey, I'm in York, too! Whereabouts in York are you located? Always looking for new Jeep buddies.

I'm actually in Lancaster now, but yeah I need jeep buddies, I work at advanced auto up here

Nice. Amish Country! Did you ever get the bolt out?

I put the front leaf bolts in first. Then the rears. Then I bolt up the axle. Then the shocks go on. Leaves are hard to line up with the axle attached to them.
