Got it done this am, was much easier with the bolts loosened. Best 10 bucks I've spent in a while! Between the OME stock lift and the 30mm Man-A--Fre spacers on all 4, I think I got around 2" or a bit more of lift. At least to my eye, that's about right for the 33's on there now.
So, world's longest DIY lift is complete. Next up: PHH.

You talk as if you didn't remove the two bolts and pull the bracket plate out with the shock. That's the way to do it.
I honestly didn't want to, but what's that got to do with anything? I tried to loosen the bracket plate bolts, but they were rusted in pretty badly, so I went to get those loosened (the $10 I mentioned). Once the bracket came off, the shock came off fairly easily-just a pain to get those 4 bolts out.
After I paid to loosen those, it was like buttah. Did the rear faster than the front AFTER that. I'm confident I could cut my time in about 1/2 next time, but I'm not making plans to do this again any time soon.

It sounded like you had no intention of removing the plates... that's all. But it's obvious that is how the rear shock gets removed: by removing the the two bolts per side then once they out, remove the plate from the shock... you got it.
Best mod I have done...
The tag, lol, or the Slee? I like both real well. I signed up (well, I said I was in) for a tag, but never heard back. Might be a new batch that isn't out yet?
I have tags. $10 in person or $13 shipped.
I sold a whopping 4 at the boil. I will step on some wallets at the Cherokee next week.
If you want one, PM me. I have a ton. Right now, the one I have on my truck costs me $200 down from $250.
Paypal me at wngrog@aol.com if you want it shipped or you never have cash and I will hand it to you in person for $10.

You sir are both a gentleman and a scholar. PM sent. You got's variety, or is that the one?
Just the white one.
Thanks again for the tag.
Send it on, bro.
Land Speeder, to address your interpretation: I absolutely had no intention of removing that plate if I could get one bolt off vs the two. But in the end I couldn't get any of them, so I settled on doing it the right way (dangit).

Got to finish up some maintenance on tow rig and 80. May be able to come on by in the early morning/ afternoon. Need to test drive the diesel since i replaced the old stock shocks any way.
Deb's 80 is DOA for this trip. Pat has had a hell of a time with the thirds. He thinks that the front diff kit is wrong. Going to get on the phone with Iron Pig Monday AM and sort it out.
Even with solving that problem it will be next weekend getting back at it.
That is going to leave very little time to put it all back together again and hope that it works. I'm not traveling 3000 miles for a field test.
That leaves us with the 40...
