    ok we have the hotchkis 4" leaf pack, drive shaft carrier bearing spacer, tran spacer and Bellteck Nitro-Active shocks in. Have the front Hotchkis swaybar in, for some reason we can't get the back ones in, to us it looks like the bottom shock mount will hit, we stopped for the day, if someone can please go into detail on install the back, I did d/l the help file from hotchkis but we are just looking at this wrong, we do have the right lower bar kit for the back double checked with hotchkis

    also I took it for a ride 0-100 and no vibration, this mod scared me the most

    here are a few fast pic from the shop

    thanks for everyone help

    I wish I could help more, but I don't have a rear sway. Good luck.

    Looks great! How is the ride? I am thinking about the same springs in the rear and either spindles or LCA's in the front. I want to keep the 16" wheels so spindles might be a bad option for me.

    we have the rear swaybar in, its close but it fits

    thanks eveyone

    the ride is great a little more stiff, but with the bellteck nitro-active shocks all around its nice

    I have one more question, my friend did most of the work at his shop, he will not take any money. what would be the cost to go in and have this done labor only.

    replace leaf pack
    replace spindles
    replace all shocks
    replace front swaybar
    install rear swaybar
    install carrier bearing spacer
    install spacer under trans.

    I would guess around $500 for labor for all that.
