Seems pretty simple. Going to read through the Haynes Manual of course. But thought I would ask if anyone has tips? Any special tools? Got new set built up with new bushings, ball joints, new nuts, and turbo tie rods.

Figured I would leave the shocks in place, separate at ball joint, and drop out. Will measure and set the tie rods to get close but figure I would pull the rack to clean up everything.

Will get some ride height measurement and such. Seems too easy!
