Hey Patman,
Thanks for the reply.
Turns out that the Eibach kit went on really easy with only a few small issues. I wound up taking the tie rod ends out of the hub assembly and leaving the sway bar hooked up. The strut came out with no problems at all. I put some before and after photos in my gallery.
I did have to buy the caster, camber adjustment bolts (lower control arm) to get things back into alignment.
I had read that when doing the rear leaf springs the front spring bolt on the drivers side needs to be cut or you have to drop the fuel tank to get that bolt out ... yep .. thats true, but I figured it would be quicker to cut the front spring bolt on the passenger side as well because the muffler was in the way. Those bolts are about 15 dollars each from Ford and the nuts were 11 each ! I ended up getting good high quality coated grade 8 replacements at a local frame and spring shop that does work on commercial trucks. They had the exact sizes and I paid around 20 bucks for both sides.
Next ... I think I will try a sway bar for the rear and a thicker one on the front. The truck corners better but still has a little more lean than I want. Anyone have any reccomendations on which ones to use ?
) so I can pull the strut assembly out ?
