Nope just the axle bushings where the upper control arms connects. I have the prothane kit which is just the bushings that need to be inserted after you get the old ones out of the sleeve. I posted the ford performance one to see if you all thought these were better since there was a post about using stock rear axle bushings.When you say axle bushings, are you referring the ones we're talking about here?
That one kit had me thinking you might be replacing your outer axle bearings as well. Hence the pull the axles comment.

I’m using the UPRs for now and later would like to upgrade to a full MM suspension, but that would be later down the line, but picked these up for the time being, in great shape not bad for 125. As for the rear axle I am putting the prothane bushings But seems like those are gonna be a pain to get out. I’ve read to use the MM tool, air chisel, and even just drill thilm out with a drill bit.
Ha I do want MM but at a later point. I found these for cheap and really clean. Right now focus is on motor, then paint, then suspension. For now I figure these have to be better than stock. Now does every bolt need to be torqued to specs after full load bc idk how I’m going to get in there for all of that. The vids I watched seems like everyone tightened and then torqued to spec the easiest bolts to get to on the lowers.w
if it were me, I would install a set of MM rear lower control arms and a set of stock 94-95 rear uppers, but hard to beat the $125 for what you bought.. make sure you use the proper grease and dont torque the bolts down until you have the suspension loaded at ride hieight
If you can borrow a set of drive up ramps, that makes the tightening a bunch easier.Ha I do want MM but at a later point. I found these for cheap and really clean.

I did think about that but honestly my bolts all look fairly clean and in good shape. I’ll upload a photo of them later. Really didn’t have an issue getting them loose either just a little wd-40If you can borrow a set of drive up ramps, that makes the tightening a bunch easier.
Not that you want to keep blowing money right now, but, a new set of control arm bolts is a wonderful thing.
I've ran those same moly upr control arms on my daily fox for a few years now. Car sees allot of abuse and haven't had any binding issues with the poly mounts. Replacing the upper to axle bushings was a pita though, I didn't use the drill method I ended up burning them out.[/QUOTE
Ha I am trying the drill method but I’ve snapped like 3 drill bits thus far
Got it, looks like I’ll need to pick up another set of stands.When it comes to final torque of suspension hardware, place vehicle on 4 jackstands. Two up front and the other two under the rear axle. That's as close as you're going to get to full vehicle weight resting on the suspension. It'll will work just fine. Try to get the rear jackstands as far outside to the tires you can.
Wheel hop. They ease the loading and unloading of the rear end. Foxes had slapper bars before the quad shocks.Anyone else remove their quad shocks? Do they make a difference? Just wondering bc I’ve been thinking I might just take them off if their is no difference noticed.
No I would say even with my old school Jamex springs and the all around drop they seem to be ok. I would like to later swap out of these cobra r’s and maybe go 18s though so maybe at that point. Thanks for the input just wanted to check before I start to finalize everything.Wheel hop. They ease the loading and unloading of the rear end. Foxes had slapper bars before the quad shocks.
Ford really thought this one over. Definitely use them unless you replace them with a way to deal with wheel hop.
Like Noobz mentioned, do you have a clearance issue with your wheel/tire combo?
