Has anyone successfully replaced their rear AHC lines? I think it's time.

Old bump but have you ever had a chance to swap out the (rear) hydraulic lines? I'll soon be swapping out all four corners.

The driver's side rear line looks atrocious to replace. I don't see any possibility without dropping the tank and/or lifting the body from frame. Or worst case, bend the steel lines to "make it fit".

Bumping to see if you guys have tackled this project and have any advice. Seems like some guys pull up the carpet and cut a hole in the floor to gain access, some guys lift the body, and some guys have been able to snake the new lines through by dropping the gas tank. I’m trying to order the parts now and want to tackle in the spring so putting my plan together.

I have replaced 3/4 of the AHC lines (both rear corners and drivers side front). I did not have to drop the tank, cut holes in the floor, lift body etc. It was tedious, but very doable with simple tools, a long 12mm ratcheting flex head wrench, and a lot of PB blaster.

My thread covers most of the procedure. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
