NICE! What came with the kit? Im going with a 3/5 eibach. drop coils and hangers

 

this is the kit i bought: http://www.stylintrucks.com/part.asp...&partid=559722 . I purchased the DJM supershox as well for this setup.

 

Real pissed off right now cuz i got the kit Thursday and tonight I went out there and started working on it...got the driver front done after much debacle bein that i am doin it by myself and this is the 1st time ever, but once i got it on i was definetly proud, but then i bust out the "passenger side" to find that I was sent 2 driver side LCA's...even tho the boxes are labeled driver and passenger...ruined my night tonight, wanted to have the front done tonight so I could do back tomorow...UGH

 

Question..The sway bar link that is on each factory lower control arm will not come off...the nut on the underside is stiff but just spins without going anywhere....I know when u turn it, it turns the rod on the topside but i held that and tried unbolting it but neither driver or passenger will unscrew...any tips????

 

cut it off and buy a new one?

idk man.

 

that's what most end up doing

 

Couple things since I done been there and done that 1. Make sure you follow the directions and drill the hole in the inner sleeve 2. Torque the lca bolts to I think 220ft/lbs 3. The big bolt that holds the bottom of the strut torque to 250 ft/lbs.

 

Stylin trucks got me a tag to send the 1 back and they gettin me the correct 1.

I drilled my hole and got that all good to go for the inner sleeve yes. I got the bolts all in and just lightly on, but I need to get a torque wrench and I was gonna torque everything then...I got the chilton diy online catalog for these trucks and they come in handy for all this stuff for sure. Thanks guys

 

Ok bud just wanted to throw that out there for you I've had my truck dropped since November 2004 with no problems have fun

 

Yea i cant wait till i get it finished. Im working on the back flip kit right now, just taking a break for lunch. My Centerline wheels for this should be here today or monday
