HELP!!!
Quite a while back I bought a budget lift for my '01 XJ. I've got a 2" front spring spacer, 2" add a leaf rear and Skyjacker Hydro 7500 shocks. Today I finally started installing this.
First of all I removed the rear sway bar.
Then I removed the U-Bolts.
Then I removed the driver's shock. Two problems ocurred:
1. both of the mounting bolts on the top mount sheared off just below the head so I will have to tap those out.
2. These new shocks appear to be made for a shock tower. The factory shock has a hoop on both ends, this Skyjacker though has a hoop on one end and then the other end is just a threaded pole. The shocks came with the same small bar as the factory mount but there's no readily apparent way to mount them.
Does problem #2 make sense/sound familiar to anybody?
I searched for a previous topic on 2" budget lifts but couldn't find any.
