okay so you got the usual and you bolts on I got the sway bar link added and as soon as I put the tire on and drop it down this will line up enough for me to bolt it in I have the top of the leaf springs and the bottom leaf springs just kind of barely bolted in you know it's still kind of loose so when I drop everything down and everything tightens up I can I couldn't you know torque it down to factory specs anyway I got the brake line you know where it drops it down a bit more as well so we should be good to go all right pedals Wilson place I'm not going to tighten it up all the way remember until it gets a until we put the tire out and drop it back down because the everything needs to sit in place before you tighten it down all the way so right now I'm just going to leave it you know snug so it's not going to fall apart when I put it down but I'll torque it down to where it's supposed to be at once I get down to the bottom rear shocks are super simple mala has the bolt at the top which is a 19 millimeter and then it has the bolts down here which are 19 millimeters as well just pop a wrench on this side and then do the ratchet on that side and yes they I do it with the car on the ground just because you know without the high-tech lift equipment and stuff like that it's just a lot safer to do when it's on the ground anyway so yeah pretty straightforward okay so we're placing the shocks on a 91 Jeep Wrangler is his works ring at the Y J's I'm basically of a better show you a shock mount already so we have the shock right there we've got the bottom bolt you got any top hold and that's in the passenger side only good reason 19 millimeters um I've already taken these ones out so that's what that looks like yeah just can I got the washer and the nut and a little spacer right there that you can put the top the shotgun so the shock usually comes pre-built like this with little rhythm pulling in place and you're going to want to mount the bottom into which is this end over here in place before you break that ribbon because it's pretty hard to compress them once they're uncompressed and then when you do it the top end it'll kind of spring out a little bit and you just want to line it up with the the top of the mount and I'll kind of show you how to do that okay I cut that ribbon and expanded up into the Jeep you know these things are pretty strong so I had to kind of manhandle it on that little bolt there anyways once you get most of the way on you can get this knot there you just tighten that snug and then I'll push it as you can kind of see it's a little bit gap right there but as you tighten it it'll pull a whole shock em into the car so when I do if you like to have the letters and stuff facing outward so that on the next guy when he comes along you can read what part number it is you know not to use e from the bolts or anything like that very straightforward to get the bolts off sometimes it helps to break or more and then some people like to say that the shocks need like a boot or a sleeve to protect that with my research that I've done online you know yeah it's nice yeah it helps but you know you don't need it in every case a lot of the shocks are designed they're kind of before they're designed to not let dirt and stuff inside of them right there so these ones should be fine without the without the boot but you know some people like them for aesthetic purposes as well anyway that's how you put shocks on a on a YJ Jeep Wrangler all right so we can relocate the track bar so that's the track bar right there and this is a 55 well the t-55 bit that goes in this end and I met on the other side is a 21 millimeter he's got to take off the track bar on this side and then there's going to be a little bracket that sits a little bit above it so that the track bar can say where it normally sit but still touch the axle because the lift case when you're doing the Trevor I find that it's easier to attack it from the nut end of it over here on this side because these star bolts are pretty freakin ordered lists when you're trying to torque them or twist at all so I use you know just a big wrench to kind of hold that one in place I do all my twisting from over here on this end that way I don't damage that bowl and I can use beacon later so I'm going to end up the track bar on the rear and we have this little thing right here if I were you put the crush sleeve in it basically this thing slides right down inside the bracket just like that um it's bolted in on the back right there through that hole and then there's another bowl supplied that goes to the top right there so I'll show you what that looks like all right so you do have to put in the star bolt and this the crush sleeve before you can tighten down that bolt in the back there well in the back is a 13 millimeter on either side and I just have the top bolt in to hold the track bar in place so as you tighten that bottom bolt on the bottom there it pulls the whole thing down so it keeps it tight so that's what you have to have in this order otherwise the holes won't line up when that's bolt is all the way tight so that's a little vague get any bolts off the axle is pretty simple this one just had a 19 millimeter bolt at the bottom and you just got to ratchet it off having a very large breaker bar helps out a ton especially with these older jeeps are kind of rusted on there okay I checked with the car in two places one underneath the back the other right on the edge of the frame I'm just kind of supporting the car you know more in one spot so if this thing falls already not some serious problems failing taking off the leaf springs right now I have one inch wrench on the back and on this ring where that wrench size is a 22 millimeter and then on the front bolt where the sockets at it's a 21 millimeter and so with the back wrench just with the way that I'm twisting this twists around that way and so the wrench is pinned up against the transfer case mount so whenever I turned this the wrench keeps the other bolt steady because they need to spin independently of each other so that's what's getting that bolt off okay so I ran to another problem where this doesn't quite line up with that though screws won't the bolt won't go through the holes so what I've done is that needs to come this direction so I have the same you know contraption I'm going to jerry-rig this little thing and as I click this that will come towards me which will give me enough room hopefully to line up that bowl there you go then now when you're putting this on make sure that this this wedge right here the thicker part is always towards the front and then when you're tightening in the bolts on this on the leaf springs don't tighten them all the way and tell the vehicles you know all the way back down on the ground and you'll be able to that way because of everything I'll reposition a little bit once it's all that has the full weight on the springs again so this is the rear side is kind of finished what it looks like so you got the leaf springs tighten on the shackles in the back you have the bump stop it can see how on the left side there it's kind of is tacked in with that you bowl at the u-bolts in place and then I got the track bar mount place a little bit higher up and it just bolts on the bottom of the you moult's there so that's what each of the back sides looks like all right that's the finished Jeep got the bigger tires on there got the four inch lift on it so yeah if you have any questions you know be sure to ask I usually put up videos you know a couple times a week so if you have any questions be sure to leave them in the comments like if this helped you I do like to get feedback and stuff on
