X2. If you don't have the frame supported by jackstands, do one arm at a time.
If you pull both lowers with the jeep on the ground you'll notice that one CA bolt won't come out.
You hit said bolt out with hammer and punch.....whole jk squats 6in or more in front at about 900mph, your either get something crushed or just about shit yourself.

The axle will not move with a jack under the pinion. I have done this prob close to 100 times on my jeep setting my caster angle and control arm length and the best way for me is to do as I posted.
No need to hammer bolts out this way either.

How is the frame gonna move by removing the control arms?? The axle will not move with a jack under the pinion. I have done this prob close to 100 times on my jeep setting my caster angle and control arm length and the best way for me is to do as I posted.

Both ways will defiantly work.

I didnt mean frame move I ment axle.. I fixed my other post.. I get what your saying man. if that jack slips off it will defiantly drop. Doing one arm at a time for me proved to be harder by having to physically push the axle forward.. Rotate it .
