The first picture is my explorer the next two are what I found when I removed the spare to replace the shocks I have to move my shockes around were their at now isnt gonna work i have zero compress movement anyways they have two rubber line connected and hanging the splitter box in the air with way to much hard line that is zipped tide to the fuel neck..the front rubber lines are the same.

So what's your question?

 

[DC234]

Oh now question just sharing what I found to so I had something to come back to later on to show

It looks like somebody replaced the rear brake lines and when they did they used a piece waaaaay tooooo long...the fix is to bend that sucker into the correct shape. Extra length can be cut off and re flared OR but the correct length OR you can coil it up and out of the way.

Previous owner had a bucketful of extra brake lines and no dikes/extra time

I'm assuming they had a hole roll it has new lines from front to rear or at least to were I could see anyways they left all the old lines in place I have since order new extended rubber lines and all new metal lines im waiting on a new rear axle and rear springs ill post pictures why tomarrow

For some reason I could not get this web page to load....any ways looking the the picture doesn't really show it but the leaf perch is squared with the bottom leaf and you can see how far that is out and to top it off its banging on the gas tank skid plate

To fix this I just went and got a used ranger 8.8 axle with the same gears for now and yes I had to move my shocks temporarily they kept bottoming out and gave a ruff ride.

 

[410Fortune]

the overload leaf has walked on you....happens alot
They make retainers to keep them from walking like that
You can smack it back straight with a big hammer...

I well order some retainers and see if it well work
