Default Hotchkis Sway bar install

Tbyrne shipped my bars today and I should get them tomorrow. I'm hoping to install them this weekend, any tips for the rear install? Thanks

hope your one of the lucky ones that does not have to move your gas tank. and where safety goggles, metal shaving from drilling the frame hurt the eyeballs!! other than that they are pretty easy. another trick is if you r having trouble getting the front sway bar nuts on the end links ( or what ever they are called) try putting a l;oad on you rsuspension until you can get them on, and the torque specs they give you up front are way too tight!! youll crush your bushing before you get them that tight , other than that enjoy them . they are a great mod!!

Yeah, you shoudln't have to move the gas tank, should be able to slip the drivers bracket in an opening in the frame.
