I just finished upgrading my rear suspension the other month, but I'm assuming yours was replacing the bushings. Unless you have access to a 4 post lift (which I don't) I used some 7" ramps I have and put the rear wheels on them before doing final tightening. It gave me enough room to get under there, having first removed the rear tire carrier.

A couple of other things I did was first every bolt I could remove and get to I drilled for a cotter key and got some slotted (Castle) nuts (Grade 5 was the best I could find) and cotter keyed them after torqueing to spec. I also got some shims in case I had to do some adjusting to get the hole and nut to line up.

Once you get everything done, get a 4 wheel alignment, it made a world of difference on mine. I was very specific in recording various settings before I started and put pieces to those settings when done. Even then the alignment made it run that much better.


Thanks for the reply. So you kept the front tires on the ground and just raised the rear? Seems easy enough that way.
