Suspension DIY

[OhOneSnake]

I've got quite a job ahead of me.

Installing new CC plates, Springs, Front and rear tie rod ends, Steeda X2 balljoint, Brake rotors and pads, IRS brace, IRS diff bushings, IRS subframe bushings, Rear control arm bushings.

Anyone who has done any of these (besides the brakes, thats easy stuff) by themself, chime in and please give me the problems you ran into. I'm going to use the auto hobby shop on the local army base, so I'll have access to a lift, but I dont know how good their toolshed is, and I've just got basic sockets, ect. (nothing specialized)

Be careful with the rear springs when you have them compressed. I did mine this weekend and had one of the arms on the spring compressor slip off when I was just starting to uncompress it. We were lucky that we had taken it out of the garage and put it on the drive way so when it went off it didn’t hit anything.
