That's what I was thinkin'. When I get proficient enough with the torsion bars I'll shoot for another inch drop in front and go the total 5 in the rear, the McGaughy flip kit allows 4 or 5" drop, exciting as hell..........

Exactly what I found drivers side- cool! LCA frame bolts where tighter passenger side, everything loosened right up, might ride smoother now.......

Hey guys- in a jam here- I can't a puller in there, even if I take off the sway bar; do I really need to take out the steering box? Or count my splines and go at it with a cut off grinder.............
TIA

I unbolted the steering box from the frame when I did mine. Allowed me to get the pitman puller on there and hit it with the impact

OK- another issue; can't seem to get that LCA BJ out- I've left it sitting in a 6 ton press for now hoping it'll let got sometime. IS something like this normal, the uppers where a pleasure to do......
