Jack under the lower control arm, bar back in the spring prying down on the upper control arm, easy to do and works
Stock arms are going to be at the limits with a Franky can be run but alignment is going to be tough

I was waiting for it.:icon_lol: Glad you got it taken care of. The JBA upper a arms are easier to get back on than the stock ones.

What arms should i Order the tire angles are crazy looking. I also have a problem with the steering if I go lock to lock the wheel has a hard time returning to the home position. I hope and believe the problem will get resolved with the alignment. Also the knuckle is almost at touching the shock body

Needs an alignment right away. First thing you need to do since its almost unsafe to drive before you do.

After the alignment is done you'll be fine. As stated already, JBA upper a arms will give you more clearance and the follow up alignment is easier to attain.

dont be tempted to replace your upper control arms with cheap aftermarket ones - they will only last you a few thousand miles and you'll be back where you are now. Replace with JBA UCA's and you'll be glad you did. Plus they're rebuildable, so if you plan on keeping your KJ for a long time they'll practically pay for themselves after a couple ball joint replacements...

Cut a notch 1/2"x1/2" in the center of the bumpstop for the balljoint grease fitting before you install them.
