Problem with LBJ bolts

[Herculean T4R]

I just got done replacing passenger side cv half shaft. I am having difficulty putting back LBJ bolts as they don't properly line up with holes in UCA. I have a 3 inch suspension kit and I am using bottle jack to push the UCA down but still I am not able to line up holes. Is there any trick to lining up the holes?

From my experiences, just wiggle everything until it locks into place. You can also put a jack on the lower control arm to help push everything together.

just re did ours not too long ago, wiggle the bolts and lbj they will eventually line up and dont forget about the rubber cover.

THIS!

Using a jack to put upward pressure on everything was key when I did mine.

is this "rubber cover" something that comes with the LBJ? or sold as a separate part number

Sold separate, they only came on the later T4R's like 01-02 or something like that.

loosen the uca main bolt, then the arm will swing freely. then rebolt the lbj. retighten the uca bolt at ride height. also make sure to loosen and retorque all of your rear arms so your rubber bushings dont get destroyed.

It came stock with our '02 I just re-installed it back.
