    Yes...it'd take ya probably about an hour

    Disconnect your UCA from the spindle

    Disconnect brake lines

    Take out UCAs Bolt

    Support your Lower UCA as you don't want to hyper extend your ABS Line...thats what I did :anonymous:

    Buts thats pretty much it :cool:

    Oh and make sure the "SPC" Logo is facing you and the rounded plate of the ball joint is facing your truck....that position will give you the most positive caster you'll need :)

    Specs should be

    Toe - 0

    Camber - 0

    Caster - 2.4+ to 2.8 +
