In the last photo, it shows the stock sway bar link... for some odd reason, the nut would not come off with two grown men trying to unscrew it with all the strength we had. Had to cut the stock sway bar link with a reciprocating saw. Thank God we had a new link to put in!

No other problems. The install was pretty straight forward with a set of metric wrenches, 2 jack stands, and a floor jack. A good friend always helps when you run into issues! But it was pretty straightforward. Make sure you disconnect the brake line brackets to ensure full droop of the axle so that you don't have any problems getting the springs back in after the spacers are installed. Keep a prybar handy.

No worries. I think that you should always carry three things, and they all worked in this install. Beer, good tools, and a friend to help you through it all. Haha, there were numerous times that either Matt or I would have to sit on the axle to make it droop far enough to get the springs back into place. But I expected it all to be a little harder, so thank heavens for me being wrong.

Hey there, nice job and thanks for all the pix.

Can I trouble you with a few questions?

1. Did you use any spacers in the back?
2. Did you have to readjust your steering in the front afterwards?
3. Did you need to do a realignment?
4. Did you need to do a front track bar adjustment afterwards? In other words, did the front axle shift over any due to the increase in height?

Thanks for your info!

No worries. 2 in spacers in the front, 1 in spacers in the back. We did not have to readjust steering, no realignment and no front track bar readjustment. One of the easiest installs I have ever taken part in and one of the shortest. Taking our time, we were finished in roughly two hours. Go for it!

Nice, love the look of the new stance. Can't wait to see some new pics with the 33s. Do you plan on running them with the stock Moabs or get a whole new set of aftermarket rims...Thanks...
