Couple of quick questions

I'm planning on doing some zuk style coils, weldless edition. But I have a few questions before I start. One is how do I safely jack the rear of the vehical up since it's already lifted? My floor jack can't reach the frame, so ibwas wondering what some other people are using.

My other question is that since my truck has the 4in lift, it has blocks in the rear. Obviously I want to remove those for the spring, but they put in longer ubolts. Where is the best place to get stock size u bolts to put back in?

Thanks guys

Floor jack under the axle, raise it up to clear some 6- or 12-ton jack stands under the frame. Then remove the wheels and lower the frame onto the stands. Use fllor jack under axle to raise/lower it as needed to install springs.

U-bolts, see if your have a long threaded section, if so, might be able to cut them shorter. Otherwise, try a local spring/suspension shop or a 4wd shop and they can get u-bolts made to order. And if you still have bolts pointed down, consider a u-bolt flip kit, costs about the same a u-bolts and gives more clearance and keeps the threads out of the rocks.

Seriously, in my thread? Do a search bra. Hell don't even search, just scroll down the list of recent threads and you will see more than one topic covering that.
