    Holy crap, what a headache!! So glad you got it all installing and everyone is safe. Were your LCAs seized?

    This, and any needle bearing issues?

    Sounds like it was a long day. I didn't take off my tie rod ends at all to install mine, just the sway bar end link (which I took off anyway) and the upper ball joint bolt and slid the whole coilover right out.

    Didn't even bother with those since it was easier to undo the sway bar and tie rod

    Were they able to get it aligned? Regardless of how you installed it, seized cam tabs can prevent you from getting a good alignment.

    Since we did it ourselves didn't have time to bring it in for an alignment.. I'm gonna get it done hopefully Thursday on my day off.. but I will say it drove straighter then before the lift.. I was able to take my hand off the wheel and it would continue going straight until he next bend in the interstate. No vibration as well. But I will get it aligned

    Yeah, mine was the same way. I was half tempted to just not get it aligned, but I didn't want wear out my new tires because of something I didn't know was happening.
