Re: 3.5 inch rubi install

Installed the same lift last Sept.
I actually split open a socket on one of my control arm bolts using a 1/2" breaker bar. I guess your not supposed to stand on them. HA! This was after 2-3 weeks of libral application of pb blaster.I had to use an impact socket with a long 3/4" breaker bar to finally loosen the two LCA bolts on the axle end. Don't forget EAT YOUR WHEATIES!!

Good luck!

Re: 3.5 inch rubi install

hahaha... pb blaster, heat, hammer, LOOOoooong wrench, and bottle jack. Piece of cake! (sugar rush helps)

If you can find replacements just blue-tip the nuts and save your back.

Re: 3.5 inch rubi install

Use PB Blaster, a torch and a breaker bar. Make sure the PB has had time to penetrate and the fumes have evaporated too! I am sure you have already tried this, but you never know.
