Jason,

I'll bring the torque wrench by. I'll try to get over about noon.

Have the car jacked up with stands supporting the 4 inch round tubes. Wheels off. Using the floor jack lift the axle assembly to remove tension on the axle limiting straps and shocks. Remove the axle limiting straps. Remove the old shocks. Now lower the jack and let the axle hang. Screw the springe up on the down tubes. Once the springs are off the seats you can remove the lower control arms. Get the new bushings pressed in. With the lower arms off you can remove the old springs and install the new ones screw the new springs all the way to the top. Replace the shocks at this time. Jack up the axle connect the lower shock bolt and axle limiting strap. With the axle secured you can now remove the upper control arms. There is one problem you may run into. The upper control arm front bolts. If they are installed backwards you will not be able to remove them with out cutting the bolt.

Mike
