So I went to Rich's house today. First was the rear track bar and first problem

Who ever installed the bolts on the sway bar bracket cross threaded one of them

We drove to Ace Hardware and they had the tap to fix the threads. Took a while to fix the threads but we got it done. Other than that rear track bar was pretty straight forward. We did the chf while reconnecting the sway bar to the links


Next was the safe t plus install. Again pretty straight forward. Having 6 inch ramps to lift the front end really helped
Think I only hit my head 5 or 6 times

Last to do was front chf. Rich bought the helwig adjustable links. Pain in the ass. Removing the top bolts, pass side mainly, was the pain. We pressed off the original bushings with the intent of putting them in the new links but that didn't work out. So we ended up using the bushings that came with the new links. They are to wide so we needed to cut them down a bit. Once that was done the new links are pretty nice

Planned to take a few pics of Rich working but that didn't happen but I got a few of the finished job

Not sure we will make Amarillo. Are you and your DW available May 24th in CA. Our daughter lives in Lake Forest and I know that’s not far from you. If you have a good lunch spot we could Uber to that would be great. Let me know
