| Okay, now there's just the rear left to do. Now that you've figured out the best way of manipulating the axle to make room for the newer longer parts, it should go smoother and faster. You're basically going to follow the same steps that you did for the front. You have the shocks removed already, so yank of the rear sway bar links. You can then remove the axle end of the rear track bar and get rid of the rear lower control arms as well. You're going to have to drill a couple holes for the new track bar drop bracket and then hook it back up to the new location. The new control arms are the next step. We had to "adjust" the brackets for them, because they didn't fit quite as well as the old ones, but after some bending they cinched up fine.
After modifying the old bump stops, the new springs can go on (much easier than the longer fronts!)
Hope you have some new longer shocks picked out to accommodate for the new lift and flex. Chris went with the Edelbrock Xtreme Travel Reservoir Shocks and you can check out that install here.
Remember, now it's time to recheck and make sure your bolts are torqued down to the proper specifications. You also need to thoroughly grease all your new zerks and get around to bleeding those front brakes. |
