Default 2 birds with 1 post?

Preface - I have used the search tool

Bird #1: I can't for the life of me figure out how to take off my track bar. Trying to install an IRO adjustable for a 3" lift and am having mental issues apparently. HELP!

Bird #2: I also ordered IRO extended front swaybar links. I can't figure out how they are supposed to fit. The angles and such of the holes do not fit anyway I try to line it up. Do I not have the right parts for it? HELP!

The track bar will have one bolt on the axle side and a tie rod end on the other. Remove the cotter pin and castle nut from the tre...then I used a pickle fork and a bfh to get the tre to seperate from the mount...it was a PITA.

+1 on the track bar. The frame end is a tapered seat like tie rod ends.

The sway bar links, is all the hardware there and the instructions are in gibberish? The aftermarket ones I install have a bracket that bolts to the sway bar then it bolts thru the link. You may have to reuse the stock lower bolt. Watch the bushing sleeves as they may be 2 different ID's
