Just use a pipe wrench on the locking nut, I have a big ass 15in long crecent, and it wouldn't open far enough. Pipe wrench and your good to go.I think that lock nut or jam nut is something weird like 1 13/16in. If you have a crecent that goes to 2inches your good, otherwise , a pipe wrench will work. Control arm bolts are 21mm.

Did you mount the arms with the grease zerts up or down?

The biggest difference comes from the transfer case in our Jeeps. X's and Sahara's front output is lower than that of a rubicon. That's why the Rubicon's have more clearance problems with the front drive shaft on the manual transmission linkage. The 1350 double cardon joint hits for sure with a manual on a Rubicon.

A guy out here with a rubi manual couldn't fit the 1350 JE Real drive shaft in his. They're looking at a body lift to make it fit.

Is the output flange that close to the body tub?

Double Cardon is hitting the Trans linkage I guess. I heard someone else had this problem too. His rear 1350 is hitting the gas tank.
After looking at how big that 1350 joint was on his I thought no way would that thing clear my auto tranny so I had a 1330 shaft made by Woods. So far no rubbing anywhere. But, now seeing his rear problems I'm wondering about the rear now too. Again.. I had heard of some people having gas tank rubbing issues... but it's only the skid plate back there and only when flexed out... so maybe we can live with that one.
