I think i left my axle side on, but i remember the other side took a little work to get on with a jack and a small hammer. Hope you get that all back on with out too much a fight.

so I'm re-watching the TF video and comparing to two different revisions of their instructions. Concerning how to mount the rear end links, the video shows one shot with the links on the outside of the brackets and another shot a few seconds later with the link on the outside. ugh. instructions say inside.

You can rent a spring compressor from autozone if you only need an extra few inches. If its the front, your driveshaft is probably resting on your exhaust/skid
