Did a little work last night after dinner.
After looking at the pictures my buddy informed me I had the upper arms upside down and on the wrong sides Haha. That's what I get for working on it after a 14 work day.

Looks great.
My only issue is the SHCS for those larger control arms bolts. I would MUCH rather a bolt head to be able to use a socket on than a allen wrench. If you need to put some decent "oomph" behind them I get worried they strip inside.

I could only see that being an issue if you're using the wrong size Allen wrench.
The hex is very deep and allows a hex style socket connected to ratchet to engage it without issue.
I'm using hex key sockets on a ratchet to torque them properly.
Shouldn't be an issue.

Looks great, pretty close to the same way I did mine. Nice Work!
you dont have a list of the bolts and nuts that you bought do you? Im going to be doing this in a few weeks and itd be a big help if i could get the bolts and nuts before i pull the irs.
Lol I do actually. Took me a couple hours to do it.
I'll post it when i get home if I remember.
Took the calipers apart and loaded the guts into freshly powder coated housings I had laying in my basement.
Big difference
Whole suspension back in.
I still need a few bolts and install the parking brake springs.
Waiting on repolishing my exhaust and it will be complete.

My fiance helped me bleed the brakes and I put it back on the ground and turned it around. Going to clean up some things bothering me in the engine bay for the rest of the winter.

My parents used to have a lake house on south lake just off 12 about a couple miles down from MIS.
I grew up on Lake Columbia just west of MIS. Miss the water so much living out here in the desert.
