Well Jack and Mike helped me put in the new springs.

I had the BRIGHT idea of buring out the rear bushings. To make a long story short, the key to burning them out fast is to throw gasoline on them...J/K ......... get that metal piece out of the middle and open the propane torch and burn it on high. Once it gets going just take a long metal object, old scewdriver or something and keep rimming the inside of the bushings getting the crusty stuff off and wiping the gooy rubber around...that goo burns real fast. it only took me 2 hours to finally figure that out. I was about halfway through before it hit me. The bushings burned in less than 30 minutes. YES it does stink.

The new bushings are in(urathane or however you spell it)....I couldn't put the new KYB's in because Summit sent me the wrong ones! I put the factory 5 rear upper control arms in and kept the bottom stock with the new bushings. I took it for a test drive and I would say the wheel hop was reduced like night and day. The tire bounced once and I grabbed.....before it was like the rearend was coming out for the first 10-20 feet......I still do not have the quad shocks in or the new regular shocks...I hope that will take care of that one little hop it does......and yes those darn Fords Racing Springs went down about 1/2 to 3/4...I still have two coil lengths left to adjust higher.

Thank you Jack & Mike...it was my first time doing the springs on a car and now I know how.
