This was my first ever attempt at this large of a project. Thanks to all the helpful posts here it went relatively smoothly. I started at 11p last night and finished at 3:30a. Would have been faster but I couldn't get the frame end of the new sway bar links tightened! I think teraflex's design leaves a little to be desired as the factory link can be held on the inside edge with a 19mm open end wrench but the only thing I could figure on the new links was to use vice grips between the bracket and the bar? Anyway, its tight now and the kit seems really nice overall.
I netted just over 3" in front and 2" in back with the kit plus takeoffs (new springs were 18/59 and stock were 17/58).

Now I need bigger tires.......I think this sickness will never end

Anyone else have the issue I mentioned with the sway bar links?

If you would have looked at the end of the bolt you would have saw you put an allen wrench in the end to hold it while you tighten the nut.

Ahh. I'll check that and retorque. Apparently they haven't updated their instructions with the new links. Thank you much!
