finally got under my truck today. wasnt having too many problems until uh oh...snapped a sway bar end link. too bad i didnt buy one in advance. then what do u know, the bolt on the top of my old strut snaps off while trying to get the nut off. i blame it on the mech that was helpin me. so now the bolt is stuck down in its little hole. oh well, try to figure it out tomorrow.

The shop I took them struts to, to compress them and and put the spacer in called me every thing but a white man LoL, I was not there at the time but I got it 2nd hand.. I have a feeling these thing are nothing but a pain if the rear poor quality nuts and bolts, more then likley made in china.. Cya Slick

well its day two of this very aggrivating process, got one strut done, but on the other strut the bolt connecting the strut to the lower a arm wouldnt budge. it was rusted to the metal piece and the vibration from the impact gun and blows from the hammer were just soaked up by the bushing. so the torch cutter came out. now i gotta take off the entire a arm to get the bushing out and replace it, hopefully i can salvage the bolt because auto zone didnt have it. im not even sure if i wanna put the blocks on the rear anymore for fear of what else can go wrong lol. but i do have 265/75 mickey thompson mtz's, 16" american eagle wheels, and stainless step bars on the way.
by the way, since im gettin pretty deep into the front suspension now should i be worried about torque'n bolts to specs? i mean i already got the cv off n everything. if so where can i find a diagram or something to let me know the correct values?
