Anybody have that day off? I bought a BL i'm going to attempt to install so I can rob my pro-comps off the YJ for sunday's run. Only problem is I'm useless with a wrench and could use the supervision of someone who actually knows their s***. Any takers? If it doesn't happen no biggie I go stock with the 235's but it'd be nice to get done...

It stands for Body Lift. It is inserted between the body and frame of your jeep to give more clearence for larger tires.

Hi Walter can't promise anything yet. Start tomorrow spraying down your body bolts twice a day with any kind of penetrating fluid. Spray up in the frame/tub side of the bolts that is where the nuts are welded to the frame. There should be 11 bolts I think. You will need a jack, one 4ft piece of 4x4 wood and a breaker bar. I have all that and more if you need it. If I'm able to help, you can bring it over here inside the garage if you were going to do this outside. I will let you know Wed.

A shed would be ideal but no sweat if Saturday's no good...in the meantime any fluid in particular you would recommend?

Every one has their favored. Can't remember what I used but WD40, liquid wrench, rust check, any type will do some are more $ than others - just make sure you soak the nut/bolt down very good. If there is mud built up on them spray down with garden hose to clean off the mud first. Almost forgot - you will need band-aids. ;D

As i said earlier walter, i should be available saturday to help, however, like yourself i have never attempted an actual body lift myself and it would be nice if an experienced person came along.

Walter, whats the plan - calling for snow on Sat. do you want the bring your jeep over here? You may want to try and back off the bolts friday night. Use a breaker bar and go slowwww if any snap we will need to cut/drill it out. Let us know your plan.

All depends on the bolts or nuts breaking free of their welds. 3 to 6 hrs
