so ive removed and installed a rear leafpack before, but this one is giving me problems. i also searched and googled fyi
specs: RE 3.5" SuperFlex onto a 98 xj with the 8.25
ive got everything done except get both leafs attached to the shackle. the front bushing is bolted in and the shackles are still in place. its as if the leafpack is too "short." ive tried every which way to get it to reach..
-different heights of the jeep itself and the axle
-tried putting the tires on and let the jeep down to get the leaf to compress/lengthen
-tried putting the bottlejack between the leaf and body to press it down
-tried just "beasting" it (pulling the leafpack down/back while someone else pushed the shackle forward)
what am i doing wrong. should i try bolting the pack to the shackle first and pull it forward? or try pulling the axle back more?
feel free to flame away:flame:
