Agree with above, if that doesn’t work then borrow a set of coil spring compressors from auto zone.
Are you putting the stock traction bar back on. That adjustable you have looks like it ain’t got much adjustment left to re center, once you take the spacers out. Shocks may not have much room...
I’m not looking forward to it, not being as limber as I once was. I think there were a few I couldn’t manage to get to, which very well could quiet it more.
Sounds like mine. Exhaust manifold gasket. Try and torque everything down on the manifold/header. I was able to tighten a bit, to quiet it down. But it’s still there, and will need to be replaced.
"This is just freaking.... weird." Right after that that thought, I heard a female call me by name. I wondered, "Is this an angel? Did I actually die?"
- this had me rolling.. something I would be thinking…
Kudos for having the sense to stay in the vehicle.
I remember wrenching in various parking lots at Texas Tech. Finally met a guy off the forums that had a rent house he’d let me wrench at.
OP, good on you for getting the kids involved. I’m glad my dad did it with me, with our old bronco.
