Of course, every tool you’ll need is identified, torque settings are stated and tips and tricks to help make the process easier, are provided as well. Trust me, this is something you can do!

Your tips and tricks are so helpful. I've used my harbor freight spring compressor so much that they are bending and didn't realize I could have just lifted one side of the axle. 😀

LOL - I'm sorry I didn't post this up sooner.

that was a great tutorial! I may need to get that parking brake relocation bracket if it's sold separately, I don't like how my lines got re-routed but just left hanging.
my brain went to 15yo when I heard, "find that hole, stick it in" :LOL:
 
Very nice! Those control arms look pretty stout. That driver side spring can be a bear with the drive shaft hitting the skid. Mine was the same way. Awesome video that will help many get the courage to do this. (y)

Glad you liked the video and yes, the parking brake cable relocation bracket is one of the best I've tested.

And, feel free to go 15 yo, this is after all, the internet 😁

The arms are every bit as stout as a LOT of social media trendy brands that I've installed and tested in the past.
