Hey....speaking of alignment / camber bolts. Do yourself a favor now. Get two pairs of moog camber bolts K6367..like 30.00 for a pair. And double nut them or have someone tack weld that bolt. Those 33's are gonna walk that alignment right out....trust me. Then your new tires wont look so hot...i learned the hard way.

I ended up welding some of the lift brackets in because of them moving slightly and messing with my alignment. I didn't have an issue with the camber bolts, but i bent a few upper control arms over the years(shoulda bought tube upper arms)

holy smoke you all are awesome, im worrying about them tires all for nothing....
Ok,day 2: started at 10am as stated earlier, stopped at 7pm, my son gave me a hand moving the rear axle into position and getting it secure, yea one headache down, the rear is so low to the ground i hope the E-brake cables reach,we will see..
My co-worker Greg did show up and what a help, he is a artist with a saws all, he made all the cuts for the crossmembers, in the a-arm pockets
and i was impressed, first one took several relief cuts, but the second side
was done in no time..
all the steering components are the same ol same ol, as far as removing and all so i wont go into all that, so all the cuts are made and rear crossmember fits great,then the rear upper drop brackets, no problems.
here are some pics of the important stuff... my back hurts, and im dirty,beer time, enjoy all..

I removed my ebrake cables. You can make them work but mine were shot anyways. You will need to let alot of the tension out of them to keep them. Lookin good so far.
