I'm here and down! Grant said he is ready too. Geoff? We do have 5 old km2s, 1 old bfg krawler, 5 Jack stands, and 2 floor jacks. I also have a wall in the front yard. We can figure something out!

With sway bar links off, you may be able to pull the coils really quickly, sometimes you have to loosen the bottom track bar bolt though.

Should be able to do as WJCO said and unbolt track bar, sway links, shocks, and drop the coils out. Then with everything re-bolted stuff the axle with the floor jacks and see what hits what.

NABOO got a shinny new drive shaft yesterday and some diff service. We also attempted to do a garage flex but didn't go very well since we maxed out the floor jacks, but it looks cool though right?. Silly me forgot the keys at home so we did not take him for a test drive:(

last night we accomplished a lot of the little things we had left.

-straightened steering wheel
-lengthened the passenger side control arm. (it was short about 1/8") however this didn't fix my bowed spring problem
-installed driveshaft
-put my stock plastic A pillar cover back in now that i have the switch pro
-cleaned out the diffs and filled up with gear oil. (my hands still smell from this today)
- nervous i put too much oil in the rear 60. almost put 4 quarts total.
-worked on template for tire carrier
-did a super awesome flex text that showed us very little since we maxed out the lifts and couldn't push it

on the dont forget list: not forget keys so i can take him for a test drive!

still to do list: relocate rear brake lines. this is on the schedule for Saturday.
