    ok cool. im gonna be getting the coilovers and tc uca's. Only experience i have in suspension is changing out my uca's on my ranger a long time ago. And ive heard the coilovers are pretty easy to install since they are complete and just bolt in. Only thing im worried about is the tightening and stuff. I dont have a torque wrench. is one even needed? if it is i think my buddy has one.

    thanks longhorn. Do the coilovers, uca's, shocks, aal, all come with torque specs? or can they be found on some install threads?

    if anyone is close to anywhere in VA, I'm get lifted. I live in Nova but go to school in Blacksburg so I'm close to the Carolina's. Also in college so a write up will be like normal homework...except i'll actually do it :)

    I believe the tourque settings should be on the instructions, but if you can't find 'em, post your questions here and someone should be able to answer your question pretty quick!

    the biggest things to torque are the UCA bolt (100 lb-ft), Spindle bolt (100 lb-ft), and the rear "U" bolts (40 lb-ft). For the top plate bolts and the bolts for the shocks, I just give 1 grunt, which is about 20 to 50 lb-ft, depending on how much coffee I have had.

    You're absolutely right.I haven't.I can't think of anything to add to what others here have already posted w/pics.Not taking notes or more pics is one of my mistakes.I made others that day.I offer no excuses as they benefit no one.

    I have no regrets for taking the trip there.It was a real pleasure meeting Chris & his family.:)

    Actually, Rich, there wasnt enough time to do a write up. We were on a limited time allowance, and given the issues that poped up (Coils takeing too long to be installed, rear axel shifting on us), it just ate into the time we didnt have. A full write up will come in due time, so dont sweat it. :)
