Man... those springs... after cursing, bruising, bleeding and sweat, I finally got them in.

I've done 1 side of the rear with the leafs and shocks and doing the other side tomorrow arvo.

Hoping to have time tomorrow to install the rear long range tank as well.

Easy to get the rear eyes to bolt up eyy, but the fronts PITFA..... Need I say more. I have done mine three times because of premature bush failure... I am hoping this time they last more than six months.... , must say so far so good.

If I remember correctly I put the front eyes bolt in first then used the jack to move the axle up and guided the rear in until I could get the bolt in...

Reckon I did the same but still very hard to line up the front bolts, especially when I put Loctite on them. An extra pair of hands is almost a must IMHO, but like most times I am always doing Jeep stuff on my own.

Tell me about it Anthony, I go out of my way to help mates work on there non-jeep 4x4s (3 gearbox changes for 1 mate) and yet I'm always on my own under my jeep. I'm doing my front control arms this weekend and I'm sure I'll be under her all on my own...
