Good tips Dan!

It probably takes about 3 hrs for most, 2 or less for the "mod monsters." For me it took longer, but I had a 'helper' (my 4 year old son who always needs a wrench different than the one he has) and I had to learn the valuable lesson of assembling the end-links on the frame bracket. Also, had one trip to Lowe's in there for the two 1/2" flat washers.
Mod monsters... hahaha that's a good one.

Taking off the wheels will make the area more accessible.

8. In order to clear the passenger shock, the saddles and U-bolts will be angled somewhat toward the bed of the truck. This raises the swaybar off of the differential and off of the passenger shock. I used the handle of my ratchet to space the bar away from the shock while I was tightening the nuts on the U-bolts.
Here's another tip:
When you are ready to tighten the nuts on the U-bolts. Place a screwdriver "rubber/plastic handle", about 1" thick between the differential housing and the bar. That way you don't have to hold the bar while tightehing the bolts.
