Not too proud to admit I can’t do something.

There will be no lifted WK2 Grand Cherokee, by my hands. I’ve worked on it all day, and the strut is hitting the inner fender. Screw it. That thing can stay stock. I’ll only ever wrench on a real Jeep, from now on.

Haha takes a real man to admit it, better to just cut your losses some times

Independent front suspension can bite me. The struts were hitting the inner fenders. I think you’d need new control arms to even do two inches properly.

Sounds like time for a sledgehammer and a grinder.

I like the way you think.

Man rule #7: You can't stop working on something until you've tried whacking the shit out of it with a BFH.

Has this occurred yet? :idontknow:

Nothing. F’k it. I’m buying a JL next spring, anyway.

Lol. That should take care of it.

Not to state the obvious, but you were using a strut compressor right?

But really... maybe that was the step you said was wrong in the instructions? [emoji57]

It isn’t needed, because the spacer just bolts on top of the assembly. I think it would work, with aftermarket control arms, but I don’t like it, and I’m over it. I’ll never wrench on IFS again.

I can't say I blame you. Have a few (more?) beers and relax.
