Things are getting there slowly. Ran into a snag on Saturday. Spent all day just getting the bearings pressed on the axles and NAPA gave me the wrong conversion U-Joint. Getting the correct U-Joint on Monday.
Had to grind a bit of metal off the BMR TQ to make it fit and I had one of my adjustable LCA which was seized. All is well though. The TQ, LCAs, PHR and brakes (Lines, calipers and hand brake cables) are installed. Also filled the rear end with oil.
Whats left:
Install driveshaft and driveshaft loop.
Bleeding brakes.
Install sway bar.
Install wheels (Also found a screw in one of my tires/leaking air)
Align the whole rear end.

Hmmm, thats weird....you think the spring perches were welded a little higher on the 9" or something? Kind of sucks. Yours doesn't look bad though. Mine is lowered about 1.5" so it will really be noticeable if the *** end is jacked up. I should have it back on the wheels this weekend and I'll know.
Glad you got yours in and running with no noise.

My main concern is with the driver side adjustable LCA. the thing is completely seized. I wonder if we can only get one of those or do we have to get them in pairs?
I just couldn't tell if it was cracked or it was just the picture. With the 9" you will most likely want to go with a adjustable torque arm some day.
We can sell you just one control arm if needed, it would be $85.00 and seen here- www.umiperformance.com/2018
Let me know and I will be glad to help. thank you!

Our torque arm brackets or comprised of several CNC broke plates which is a much stronger design then multiple plates welded together.He has an adjustable torque arm on it now
.. when I last checked multiple and several have a very similar meaning. And from the customers picture it LOOKS as if his plates are separating on him, not sure, but maybe it is and something he should look at.. I was referring more to something that could have happened while he was grinding it to fit. Good for him, it will work much better for his application and shouldn't require any grinding. The first few pictures looked like a non-adjustable to me.

I had to grind the bottom part ot the TQ arm close to the bolt. I couldn't align it since it didn't fit in the notch of the 9" bracket. The top I touched by accident with the grinder (My bad) but it didn't need to be grinded at all.
