OK, I expect to break off every bolt holding the rear shocks on. What do I
need to get to put new ones in? (Perfer to buy the stuff BEFORE, so I'm not
running the store dirty and bloody knuckled...

TIA

I didn't have any problems when I put the shackle lift on a couple of years
ago. When I went to replace the shocks this time I sheared the heads off
every single upper mount bolt. I took it too a shop, as I had a nasty
experience getting sheared bolts out. The guy drilled them out and put
helicoils in. The new shocks are mounted with stock-sized bolts. I drove
it to the shop, slowly, without the rear shocks in it. It was two hours
labor from the time he got it until it was in the parking lot with my new
shocks in it.

Hey Carl, I missed this post somehow...
I am using exhaust manifold studs in mine, it was handy and it's still
working. Eventually I will be using bar pin eliminators and better hardware.
How are you making out?

Re: PING >> Cherokee LTD
 

Been very busy with work and studying, haven't a chance to get much work
done. Not to mention my vice broke, and I need a vice to get the bushings
into the shocks. I got the steering stabilizer in without issue, much more
solid now on the road! Hope to get everything else installed this weekend.

I'll let you know how things go..
