I got all that on my car and the hardest/biggest pain in the ass is the front shocks. the relocation brackets are easy as shit. Put them on the last hole for the best traction you can get… with the torque arm, did they send you a magnetic dial?? if they didnt, I have one from my spohn one. are those tires 315’s?? ---

well got the rear suspension done, springs, shocks, panhard, rear sway bar, lower control arms with the relocation brackets, and the torque arm. Big thanks to drew for hooking me up with those coil things, really appreciate it man. Next few days will be inner and outer tie rods, front sway bar, coil overs, upper and lower ball joints and tires, than i should be done, hopefully by the weekend. ---

just make sure that your torque arm is around 0 to -2\* on the street’s so you dont bind up your rear joints and eventually break them. I have mine set at 0 because I DD it everyday ---
