How do I remove the ac lines?
Ok guys, I've got the front of the excursion done with my spring swap finally and now it's onto the rear. How do I move thes ac lines along the passenger side to get them out of the way from that shackle bolt? I see the brackets holding them but since they are all hard lines how many do I have to remove?

When I did mine, I simply removed the bolts holding the two nearest brackets and popped the top two hard lines out of the brackets. Then I pushed the upper two up and pulled the lower two down. That gave em enough clearance to get the old bolt out and the new bolt in.
Hope this helps!

Well I got the bolt out but it was not easy! One of the bolts holding the bracket in place broke and the one in the wheel well broke loose from the backside so I couldn't loosen the nut, everything would just spin. After a lot of prying and cursing, I was barely able to get it out. Now I just have to rebuild the new spring packs and bolt everything back up.
