Hi,
I'm in the process of drilling out the bolt holes for the stock track bar frame-side mount, because the holes are all wallowed out. There are 4 holes: 2 down by the frame rail and 2 in the wheel well. I'm having an issue getting the drill centered on the frame rail holes because the front diff is getting in the way. I need like 3 more inches of clearance. I have the frame rail jacked up until the wheel is just off the ground. What can I do to get the frame rail 3 inches farther from the diff? If I drop the shock, will that create any more flex? or will I also need to remove sway bar and/or LCA? I'm hesistant to remove any extra parts because the rust is so bad they might not go back together. This Jeep is stock but I figured you'd all have experience here. Thoughts?
