OK, austin, framos, whoever else...
I need your tips for installing this kit! (more than you already gave laugh )
I'd like to get it all finished in a half a day if possible.
Thanks,
Bill

Besides what I already wrote, get at least one extra set of hands. Two sets would be better.

Air compressor is your friend.

If you get all of these tips, you'll finish at the time you want.

P.S. Make sure you have nothing else to do or go.

Remove one tie rod end. It'll be easier to remove the front sway bar. Take advantage of this and go ahead and flip your sway bar. Flip it left to right, keeping the front to the front and the rear to the rear.
