Re: John Lee's Heavy Duty Lower Control Arm U-Bolt Modification

The divers side front shackle completed and torqued.



A bit of cleaning to do before the winter suspension rebuild, but the dirt out of the way here so nuts and bolts can bottom on steel not on grit.



A shot of the Drivers side front and rear completed. Lather and repeat for the passenger side. Also, if you are running brake lines before doing this job, hump them up about 3" above the u-bolts on the rear of the crossmember. It'll give ya enough room to drill the holes from the bottom and wrench on the new ubolts from the top w/o pinchin a spanky new line.



That's it. Suspension safer and confident for the long drives to/from Hunting Camps starting in Sept. Time to clean up, smoke a cigar and go for a ride to validate the suspension mods and to see if I got the fuel stink fixed.
