So far the bad
1. PHB wont go in even with beating it
2. I have to find a drill big enough to drill hole bigger for shocks. im can hold a drill bit that big.

Would it be possible/practical to try a drill press for the shock holes? Just thinking ahead.

Hope you aren't using a Wolfe solid rear swaybar either. It won't work with that housing.

if i had the tools it wouldnt be bad. All they need to do is drill hole a touch bigger and where the PHB slides in it needs to be a little wider. SO FAR THATS ALL lol

amazing how easy installing a rear end when the bolts holes are drilled to
the right size and other stuff! Spent over 2 hours hamming and more to
get the rear housing it yesterday and no go. Well today did some grinding and some
drilling at the shop then came home and it was in in 10 mins of work lmao!

Because this is a few hundred cheaper and a good bit lighter. Its all minor stuff i just dont have the tools here i jist moved. If i did it may take 15 mins of work total. Other people have not had these problems.

It was easy i just had to grind one side of the bolt head flat or u spend 15$ for some t bolts. Its worth is for the money and weight saved. I mean a total of 15 mins of work on it.
