My friend Jesse and I installed my pro3i weightjacker (adjustable) LCA/UCA's tonight. The install took just around 4 hours. It only took 1 hour to tear the whole rear-end out, dropping the sway bar, shocks, springs, lower arms and upper arms. But putting it back together was a little trickier. We got the driver side upper on NO problem. But it took us a freaking hour to get the passenger side on. The shaft that runs through the stock bushing on the lower mounting point was like an 1/8" to wide. We tried various methods of wedging the arm on there, but to no avail. Finally I tried filing it down with a hand file. That was taking to long. So I busted out the angle grinder and grinded the ***** outta the thing.
New upper (left) and lower (right) control arms. Lowers are adjustable.
Lowers only
Uppers only
Driver's side with 4 control arms removed, both springs removed, sway bar removed, shocks unbolted.
Another rear shot disassembled
Stock lowers
Lower mounting point
Passenger side axle area
UCA body mounting point
Another UCA body mounting point
Driver's side upper installed
The pics are okay, and I got tired of taking them, and so I don't have any of the lowers. But I gotta jack it up tomorrow to adjust them, and I'll snag some then. Damn it's 2 am and I gotta get up at 7 for work. Later
