If you can't use the instructions for the install, your are in over you're head.
But what do you need help with ?

One tip just by looking at your pictures. Do not unbolt the control arms all at once. You have no control of the axle at this point. It'll be a bitch to line back up when you need it too.
Only remove two arms at most when it's sitting on floor jacks.

X's 2. :thinking: You need to have a pretty good understanding of all suspensions components, what you are taking off, and what you are putting on before tackling any lift of this type. If you don't, you probably should let someone else do the install.

This! I learned that the hard way. Never again will I do that.
You need to stop right where you are and get Tom to come help you before you screw the pooch.

THIS! Probably the biggest thing I taught Panda when we installed mine. I learned the hard way back on my YJ :grayno:

Get the ratchet straps and dead blow hammer ready, you have no idea the can of worms you opened. This is the part of my axle swap I didn't tell you about.

You forgot to read the first paragraph of the instructions, it is the most important part. "By purchasing this kit you are starting the next level of performance. To install this kit it requires work and finesse. This high quality system will truly enhance your vehicle to another level. Cutting and Grinding required; not bitching and moaning. This is a toy, it should be fun! EVO recommends install by a trained professional."

I've never seen their instructions, but if this is what they put on them I plan on seeing some. Quality product and humor how does it get better than this?

Lol, that is seriously on the very first page.

I'm fine but the instructions have loads out of it that are not explained. For example the swaybar relocation on the frame. I had 8 allen head bolts and I could not figure out what they where used for. After talking with two people over the phone and pictures, I found that I was missing parts. I was also missing the frame bolt as well.
Yeah I experienced this. I knew it was going to happen but didn't realize that it was going to move the much around. That is good advice :thumb:
Thank you for the thought Sharkey. It's not that it was over my head by any means. What I was frustrated about was missing material and the instructions did not explain where they went. I knew this installation was going to take some time and I'm for sure not swayed by it. Thank you for the post Sharkey :rock::rock:
At least I'm not the only one
I know it was going to move around but not as much as it did. Once I placed a floor jack on the drive line it all stopped.Oh my Gosh Lee.......:doh:

There is always a bit of humor in installations. Missing parts are at the top of the list :icon_crazy:

Ok back at it this morning. :rock: Only things I need to do.
-Install the bracket that goes over head for the CO's
-drill through the frame
-relocate the swaybar (only if i had the bracket)
-buy new hardware for the swaybar links
-remove the rockstars and drill out the hole for the swaybar links
-install the CO's
-install the break lines and bleed the breaks
Easier said than done :shock:

What needs drilled out on the rockstars? Nothing needs drilled out...

Here are some pictures that shows what I'm talking about. The bolt that goes into the swaybar link has zero play in it. The rockstar hole for the swaybar link isn't big enough.

That's about the thickness of the powder coat, just bolt it in.
