I'm get a set of adj lower control arms since the skyjacker ones aren't quite long enough.

I did the lift myself, and replaced them when the front end was completely disassembled (shocks, springs, sway bar) and it wasn't too difficult.

I need some advice on how to install the new adj ones without taking apart the whole front end...if i do one at a time, will the axle hold in place to change them out? anyone done this, i could use your input!

Thanks

any ideas, anyone?

Do yourself a huge favor and remove the coil springs first and then replace the lower control arms and then reinstall the springs. If you try to swap the arms without first removing the springs, the springs will make the axle want to rotate and you will have a hell of a time getting the bolt holes to line up.

I did one at a time and used a crowbar and mine came out fine IMO...Tj

BTAM13, i see what your saying. But wait a sec, i got an idea...instead of completely removing the springs (because its a pain in the *** to get them back in) could i just pick up two strut coil compressors, synch them down to remove pressure from the axle and then change them out?

That would probably work.
