Is it font axle or rear? The e brake lines unscrewed from the tub? The axle breather hose? Is the driveshaft hitting the exhaust (front). Taking the tires off so you get maximum clearance is a plus.

 

Do you really think I would attempt to do a lift install and not take the tires off??? Come on man!!!

 

You would be surprised....

 

Did you loosen the bolts on the upper and lower control arms? The rubber bushings on each end of the arms will not allow the axle to move very much while they are still tight.

yes!!

 

It could be your drive shaft getting hung up on a skid plate.

 

You would be surprised!

And x2 on the skid plate.

 

Just wanted to give alittle update on how I made out with the install.

I ended up using a spring compressor for the rears in order to reinstall the springs. I was able to drop it enough the get them out, but was unable to get them back in with the new spacers in place. The front went much much quicker and easier.
Prob took me about 12 hours total. New shocks, wheel spacers, new tires, etc..) Did it all by myself with a large variety of tools. Re-torqued everything after about 100 miles and everything seems to be working great
Thanks for everyone's help!! 🍺

 

that was gong to be my suggestion. When I did my 2011 jk It kicked ay ars. When I got my 2013 jkur I went and got some spring compressors. saved my a lot of time.
