On my 88 I was prepared for everything to break..it had 230k on it..nothing even needed a breaker bar.
I figured with all the dumb **** the PO did to this 00 it would be a disaster..All I did was spray the shock bolt with liquid wrench a couple days ago..got about 30 minutes in the garage last night while the lady was reading..figured id see if the bolts were gonna brake..got my 13mm socket on them and each backed out with 0 fight

UCA brackets or the LCAs brackets?

If the passenger side UCA is a ***** ill just leave it for the time being until I can plasma it off. I see the LCAs being a big PITA.

I cut my friends lowers off with a cutting wheel, just takes time. Would have been easier without the long arm in the way.

Unfortunately I already purchased all the 4.5 inch stuff. Once I run a heavy bumper and some gear for the rear it should bring it down.
I may do install next Saturday if the 3 link is done.
Picked up my front shaft today

Custom cross member, square tube lowers, and a DOM upper, 3/4 Heims.

Cant get too specific with brands of brackets, etc that we are using as we will be selling these 3 link kits soon.

Picked up (and cleaned up) my new D-shaft. Also got time to install my trac bar brace..runs from the frame bracket to the other side of the unibody..pretty nice!
