Mine werent damaged or rusted but I read ine time use only I said one time only, because 99% of the time they're screwed up badly. I guess if you had purchased new leaf packs recently? I've never seen an OEM pin come out in any sort of condition that I wound consider reusing it, normally it's cut them off and in the trash, no wasting time over $3 in pins.

I got mine out using a strap to keep the pack together, a vise grip and a socket. No need for cutting. I took them out and reinstalled them flipped so the nut is on top of the pack now for the soa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 For shock mounts after soa swaps... how many of you left the shock nounts hanging down, how many moved them up so they don't get hung up under the axle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I moved mine. I went with XJ style stud mounts because I had a set. I do not believe in hanging anything below the axle tube. I am using stock length shocks and get acceptable travel out of it, I didn't adjust the bumpstops as they played nicely with the length of the shocks and fender clearance. I would suggest getting the axle in place and measuring before committing to what shocks you buy or mounting locations. You can see them in this shot...

My stock shocks feel blown. I don't want to hang the shock mounts down under the axle tube because I do plan on offroading the jeep but we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
