Easiest Order To Install????
Re: Easiest Order To Install???? The panhard rod is the easiest thing to install by far......
When you do the LCAs and LCA Brackets, do one side at a time (LCAs and brackets on one side, THEN move and do both on the other). That will keep the rearend from moving around too much. If you pull both, then the rear could roll causing you a lot of stress getting it back together.
The springs are going to probubly be the most difficult part. To do them, you will need to unbolt the bottom mount of the shocks (rear end) and perhaps even the torque arm. The idea is to let the rearend drop much more then it normally could (need the LCAs on for the above reason...won't roll...). Then the springs will drop out and you can mount the others.
The front springs are a pain because you have to get a spring compressor to compress them while you loosen the bolts. You don't "have" to realign the front end after a springs change.
I would do the panhard, the LCAs, and the LCA brackets first (in the morning), then do the springs. Springs can take an entire day if you run into problems.

Re: Easiest Order To Install???? So you think I should do the LCA, Bracktets, APHR before I do the springs?
Having my friend take the front struts to his friends shop to use their springs compressor.
