Yes i know what you's are thinking, 'not again'!
But being a newish Jimny owner I'm looking for some advice.
I have searched the forum and have found a mixture of answers.

Im fitting a pro comp 2 inch lift soon so what my thinking is;
Plenty of WD40 before hand (prepared to grind bolts off if seized), jack up on axle stands under chassis, then use jack under axle to relieve pressure, undo and remove shocks then drop the axle via the jack, and then the springs should come out? Is this the same on both axles?

Will it drop far enough due to brake lines etc?

Any extra hints or tips would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance :)

To give you that extra room just unbolt the brake calipers. The back is easy to do. A pair of mole grips to grip the shocks when undoing the top mounts will also help.

On the rear un clip the brake hose on the chassis and axle
If your front shocks are of no use cut the nuts off with slitting disc on grinder it save time
Also the bushes on your new shocks may need shaving a tad to fit :)

I used wd40 evey day for a week before nothing snapped off ;)
