I can't remember but is the sway bar connection an allen bolt? I disconnected that to get at the shock I believe.

Also, dose the shit out of everything with either PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench for at least a few days before the install.

 

Ya thats what i was talking about, like this

Yup 6mm Allen , 10,12,14,17,19 wrench are good to have . Same size sockets . Iirc 19mm will be the biggest you will need to do that job . Unless you are changing out ur ucas . Then it depends on what uca is going in.

 

Ya i should have to disconnect the sway bar, if it is an allen bolt i should have the right size. Ill be lubing all those fuckers up and cleaning everything really well first. I have a feeling i am going to be finding some mud from months ago when i get everything apart haha. I know for a fact there is still some in my skidplate.

 

Ya light racing UCAs going in. 19mm is the biggest open ended wrench i have but i have bigger sockets. I will go figure out what i need for the UCA bolt tomorrow, thanks for pointing that out. I also picked up new OEM UCA bolts in case i decide to cut the old ones out

 

No problem . The uca balljoint nut is we're you will need a bigger socket . I think it's a 21 or 22 . The long bolt is a 17 I think .

 

Or ill find out now haha. 32mm for the big nut on top that holds the balljoint in place. Thats the biggest socket i have.

 

Really . I don't have a 32mm . Only 35 . Maybe they changed the nut on the control arms
Also grab one of these at autozone or wherever . Makes life easier . Cheap money too .

 

The nut on the light racing UCAs is 32mm. Thats a tie rod puller correct? Im still pretty newbish to this stuff...time for research...

 

yup you can use it on the tie rod end and on the stock uca balljoint . easier then beating it with a hammer . i think there $20 or so .

 

Nice ill grab that an try to find a spring compressor that will work on the 885s and i should be good to go. Im getting anxious to get this lift on! Looks like i wont be buying tires until after christmas though and i don't wanna rock the stock tires for to long when im lifted haha. Thanks for all the help i really appreciate it.

In the swimming pool. LOL

 

Sounds about right to me. You did have to go get ready for the party.

 

That's right it was really hot! That's where we all ended up!

 

Yea that was a great day! Wish I had made that pic though.

 

I'm looking forward to getting back down there . I read the other day a new park opened in Maine but its pretty far up. Still closer then PA.
