Hi folks,
I started installing an RE 3.5" lift on my rusted and beat-up '89 XJ today. This is my first attempt at this sort of thing, so I started with the rear first, figuring it would be simpler.
Things went well at first - everything came off without too much fuss - but I cannot get the new spring packs on. They look to be at least 2" too short, and the shackle doesn't want to move. So, do I remove the shackle? Or do I BFH it into position? Or something else?
(Oh, and BTW the shackle is pointed towards the back of the Jeep at about 45 degrees.)
I've given up for the day now, but I'll be back at it tomorrow. Any help/advice gratefully received. Thanks![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
