I got everything minus the shocks.... (the 1 item I really need lol)
Install was going to be tomorrow but looks like it'l have to be pushed back a couple weeks or to Thursday if the shocks come in tomorrow
Edit. Can someone tell me if the springs are the right way in the pic or are they upside down? Lol

They’re upside down. The tighter spaced coils go up

Looks like shocks won' be here till Friday. I guess there was a mix up. I think I'll still do the install tomorrow and just put the shocks in Friday when they get here.

LCA is kicking my ass. Lol. I have it installed but the torsion key isn' touching the bolt. It' all the way up. I guess I have to take it off and turn the Tbar till it touches the bolt then install it again?
Disssembly Was cake. I got the Milwaulkee M18 mid torque impact and that thing zapped everything off. Putting it back together.... we'll see
That' the LCA all the way up and the key is all the way up. Which is wrong because I would have no adjustment down so I need to take it off and put it back on with the key touching the bolt

@Bombsquad85 did you preload the torsion bar for reassembly? And remember don’t torque down your control arm bolts completely until everything is installed and the vehicle is sitting on its own weight.

Which lcas are those? Stock type or for lowered trucks? I guess this is what I have to look forward to.

They are the moog problem solver LcAs and the passenger side is in.
@M1Gunner so should the bolts be loose or just snug? Right now I have them zapped on with my impact but not torqued. And do you know the torque specs for them?

Also anyone with the beltech spindles. Did you need to cut the bolt for the UCA? I had to cut about a 1/4" off because it was touching the axle

Fronts pretty much done. Just need to put the brakes on and the wheels. Lower and tighten control arms

So did you need to do anything with the torsion bars? Is it a pretty straight forward job?

@Bombsquad85 I have the McGaughy’s spindles but I had to trim the upper ball joint stud as well. You also have to trim the lower one if you ever plan on running 17” wheels.

After I figured put the passnger front the driver front was a breeze.
I'm 90% done. Just need my shocks and figure out how to move the sway bar over. My hardware didn'
Come with nuts for the sway bar bolts and I have no idea how to secure the drivers side bracket

Well I'm done for the day. Sway bar is banging against something (probably why It needs to be moved over 2 inches)

Ok, thought this was an exhaust leak because header bolts were loose. Tightened them but noise is still there. I can't tell if it's exhaust or under the valve cover. Def noise from the top end somewhere. Opinions or suggestions?
Hood closed.
