g204life Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 So I ordered the BL from 4x4 .com, does it not come with the back bumper relocate? (95 pathy) I just figured out I need the radiator relocate. What is the major difference between the 95 BL and the older models BL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packie88 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 nope the rear bumper canbe relocated using holes that are already there. the radiator relocator brackets are not necessarily needed. if you remove you lower fan shroud and do some work to the tubes you will be fine.

GrimGreg Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 The main difference is the rear body mount bolts got changed in 93 (I think it was 93 at least) to a larger diameter. The kit AC sells has bolts swapped in that fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I believe it was in 90, with the start of the 4 door, though, I could be wrong on that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think GG is right because afaik the bumpers from 87-92 are the same, then they put the more rounded bumpers from 93-95. I was working on an 88 that had been sitting for 3 years, and noticed the mounts were different. Damn those bolts were rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g204life Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thank's guys for all the input. Here is my next question the power steering is a pain in the ass to remount.

packie88 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 the resovior or the actually pump itslef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g204life Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 I beleive the actual pump the one you have to move up 3" on the fire wall. I couldnt tell you for sure my mechanic was asking these questions. I'm just trying to make it easier for him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I picked up some new hoses for the PS reservoir so that it would not have to be relocated at all Spent under $50 on new longer lines, but that included new Oil Filter Relocation Kit lines as well... which were the majority of that cost.

g204life Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 That is a GREAT idea, I will pick up new hose lines in the a.m.!!! The kit I got from 4x4parts.com said to prtty much move everything on the fire wall up 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I just slid mine down the inner fender wall, and reattached it. Took me about 10 minutes, and $0.10 worth of self tapping screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 On my friends we swapped in new hoses rather than use the extentions they send. The gas fill tube especially is worth just getting a new one. Power steering is cool either way, I left mine in place for the 2" lift, but relocated the hard lines on the frame up an inch and was fine. On the 2 and 3 inch the fuel filter was as easy as flipping the mount for it upside down. With the brake lines on the firewall, just pry apart the coiled part on the passenger side as you lift it. The AC line on the firewall can stay, but check where it comes past the master cylinder to see it doesn't rub after the lift. If you are using the radiator drop then you'll have to cut the stock lower mount out in order to put the drop bracket on, if not using the drop kit you need to remove and trim down the lower radiator hose and rotate the upper to eliminate any kinking as well as remove the lower section of the fan shroud.... Bunch of little things, just post up if you hit any snags and we'll get you through them. BTW PB Blaster the hell outa any bolt you are gonna remove, starting now and repeat twice a day till you do the BL . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The AC line on the firewall can stay, but check where it comes past the master cylinder to see it doesn't rub after the lift. All good information, though a definite X2 on this point. I had to replace that pipe because of that issue exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g204life Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 I really appreciate all the help. One last question I have. What about the steering shaft, it seems like it is going to slip out. Any one have any problems with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It won't slip right out. Just loosen the bolt on it, to allow the smaller part to slide out of the larger part where it's splined. Watch that it's sliding out properly as you lift. Once the lift is in, tighten up the nut. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
