So here's my deal. I've been working the last 36 hours on my 2000 XJ limited (literally. No sleep.), trying to install this lift. That process has been GREATLY facilitated due to this website and the endless hours I've spent searching and reading the different threads about lifts in general and this lift in particular. However, I've yet to come across anything dealing with my current problem at hand. I'm very anxious to get this figured out seeing as how this is the only thing standing in my way from about another hour of work and a lifted XJ. Plus, I'm planning on doing elephant hill this weekend, and this lifted Jeep is kinda necessary for that. Thanks in advance for those of you who'll reply and help me figure this thing out.
Anyway, here's my problem. When I went to install the rear leaf spring packs (this is on the Rubicon Express 3.5" super flex again), the eyeholes on the frame mount side didn't line up with the bracket. I actually couldn't even see the eye hole through the hole in the mounting bracket, but I know it was close, 1/4" max. I'm thinking (hoping) this is just due to the springs being new and really tight. I tried jacking the axle up to see if that would flatten the spring out a bit and push it over to the hole in the mounting bracket, but it didn't work. And the rear bolt was already holding that end of the spring in place ...I'm drawing a blank. Thanks for your help again, rocks. :worship:
