    IE rear sway bar installation

    What's the best way to do this? Cant' seem to squeeze it in there.

    I really, really don't want to drop the diff. Is there a way to do it without doing that?

      It will go in if the spring is out on one side.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        I wondered that. It looks easy enough to pull the shock out so I'm hoping the spring removal isn't too bad. We'll see what mr. SkiFree has to say about it. I'm hesitant to remove anything that's going to affect the handling of the car if it's not replaced properly LOL

          Removing & replacing the shock and spring isn't difficult and doing so isn't going to affect the car's handling.

          Be sure to weld in the reinforcements on the trailing arms. Otherwise the sway link tabs on the trailing arms will bend.

            Okay that was actually really easy! I assumed I'd need a spring compressor to get the spring out, but I guess with the 1.5" drop it had plenty of wiggle room. Now I need to get someone to weld me some tabs...

            Thanks jlevie!
