SportChicken gets its Wings!...help!

[cstanley]

well, almost...I spent the entire holiday weekend under the 'cheicken trying to put my Tuff Country 4" lift on. I thought I'd warm up by doing the rear first. after 6 hours of frozen bolts and a little help from mapp gas torch, the axle was down and the suspension removed. reassembly went much better.

on to the front! what a bear! axle came down without a problem, as did the springs. shocks were a pain... then i twisted the brake lines into little bits...i wasn't really planning on that, and upon inspection they would've twisted apart even if i had been able to see the fitting. oh well, moving on. Now i can't get the blasted steering arm off! tried every tool i had (limited, you understand.) even the stinking pickle forks i had to run out and buy. nothing! so, i assembled everything with the new parts, sans raised steering arm and front brakes. and that's how she sits... i don't know what to do now...

i'm gonna post for help in the suspension section...

this project was a bear for one person...
