Lift has been on for almost a month now and things seem to be doing fine.

D/D just a tad less stick'em in the corners, ride also a bit stiffer. A week ago I could smell some oil getting hot under the hood, and wa-La the center boot has been ripped to pieces. I picked up a decent looking P-A-P axle to swap.

Question is with the 2" block lift, and the strut pushed down, the angles at the CV's looks tight. Plus getting the Lower control arm on after the lift was fun. I thought I would ask if there is any tips on the R&R if the wagon has the lift.

Going to get it done this weekend. Will let you know how it goes. Oh, I have an 88 GL wagon,

How did u get the lower control arm back on?!? got my block lifts in but cant get it back on

i had to delete my front roll bar when i did my 2" on the loyale. it was still a PITA to do tho.

I have a 2" lift on my sedan. I disconnect the control arm from the inside when I do axles. It can be a pita to get it back on sometimes... Easiest way I've found is to jack up the ball joint a little to compress the suspension and make it easier. Then I use a punch or something to center the control arm in the mounting tabs so I can get the bolt through.

It isn't anything that a little bit of hammering and banging on can't fix.

Did you do anything other than put in the blocks and rear Straps? because i just did a 2" block lift in a 90 loyale but theres a grinding noise sounds like cvs gone bad but their only like 2 months old..........
