I am installing a 4" short arm in my rubi and have been havin a ***** at it for two days now. First I snapped three of the foru rear shock bolts. That was a picnic to get out. I cany get the pitman arm off. I dont have a torch to heat it up where I am. I snapped the top off of the front shock. Currently wrstling with that. What a pain in the neck. Give me a CJ any day. They were so much easier to work on. Well I'll get through it eventually. Than I have got to go wheelin.
 

Well I finished this weekend. I guess it wasnt that bad except for the broken shock bolts. Why the hell did jeep weld those nuts in. If they didnt when the bolt broke they would have fell out and could have been replaced. After we finished we took it out to the beach for a while. It rides nice. Glad thats done.
 
sounds like the gremlins were camping at your house during that install.... funny how the simplest things can make a project seem like work.... good to hear you got her done.... enjoy!
