Tony is right, take the tire off, remove the sway bar end links,

take the 3 bolts off the top of the strut, the 2 off the bottom,

take it out as a unit, and take it somewhere to be done properly

and slap it back together.

my rough ride is due to NOT ordering from Tony, I had a huge order, so just got it all from Jegs, and jegs has NO IDEA what they are selling, they sent me the wrong kit.

FWIW, i have the drop spindles & ~5 rings (2 10mm & 3 8mm) IIRC,
and it sits nice, not SLAMMED, but nice.

i had to put the one inch spacer back in rear after mine settled.

Trust Tony. Not even Belltech has good data on thier site, i had to call them, to find out what was in each kit (like 2210 is light duty 10 inch shock, but Jegs sent me 2410, which is heavy duty 10 inch, for some reason)

Tony said my front struts are too hard too, is why my ride is rough.
it's bearable, just not "plush" like it was.


there's a LOT of mumbo jumbo out there. order from Tony.
