Rough Country lower control arms
I was wondering how hard it was to change the lower control and the steps to doing it i know you jack up the chasis but what about the front axle do i jack that up as well??
they didnt come with instructions i think it should be pretty easy.
i also have rough country rear shackles to install as well how about putting those on what else do i have to do??
thanks,
david

When I did my lower control arms I jacked it up by the front axle than used jack stands under the unibody let it settle and used a 3ton low profile jack under the axle so it was easy to move around to slide bolts in.
BTW at high lifts you either need to cut into the shock mount or get drop brackets because of the rough country control arms being straight. Found that out the hardway
