    Good news and bad,
    I have been trying to install the new improved LR bushings in the UCAs and messed them up by tearing off some of the end of the bushing!!
    So we won't have to install them
    Sorry for the mess up but we can still do the springs and AALs

    Yes it happened we just had to hold off on the UCAs due to my destruction of the bushings, but all went well I think and we got the front springs installed and the AALs. Thanks for the help Specalt and Seabass, much appreciated, and we will do the UCAs when the new ones arrive.

    thanks again to everyone that helped out; the new ride is great. i love the way the rear is sitting, still undecided about the front though, but I feel like it was a better decision that i held off on the 1/2" top plate spacers.

    ride home was great, nice and stiff. not really any vibes, and surprisingly little wandering...im thinking because i had it aligned at 1.75" and we only bumped it about another .75". Aside from wearing the steering components, I feel like i could live without the UCAs.

    Glad it made it home!!!! :D

    Bounce it around a bit and see if the alignment can help it a bit after it settles some.
    Good seeing everyone and thanks for the help all!!!
