Alright im installing 2" fabtech lift blocks in the rear of my 02 ranger xl. There are no stock blocks on it. I removed the ublots but there is a nut on the center pin holding the springs to the axle. I cant remove the nut because under the spring perch the pin is free to rotate. Whats going on?

that is not mechanically holdin the axle in, its jus stuck.

 

oh I thought it was cuz when I turn the nut the bottom of the pin spins. Ill go whack on it

 

no you need to lift the frame off the axle tube! it usually does not stick. you might still have weight sitting on the axle.

 

I have the frame sitting on jackstands. I supported the botom of pumpkin with a floor jack. With ubolts removed the whole axle just hangs there! Do I need to remove the bottom of shocks?

 

Bump!

 

nevermind im dumb, got it

 

ok i cant even get my u bolts off, its like there weilded on or something, what size wench did you use

 

I used a breaker bar. like 1/2" size breaker bar.

walk into any tool store and ask for a 18 inch breaker bar. they are cheap and u will use it several times!
