I did mine solo too and you can do it alone and fully assembled. Just gotta balance it just right on the jack.

This is the key.. Balance.. It just cannot fall off the side or it will bend your shocks and that would suck!! Mostly because I was too lazy to take them out...

Still sounds like too much of a pain! Think I will take the shocks, springs, hubs, and control arms out first...

Most of the questions people have asked over the years have been added to the FAQ on our site:

FTBR Frequently Asked Questions

I know it's long and time consuming to read but almost everything that has ever been asked is in there or the installation instructions. Sometimes people want to ask a quick question without having to scour through a bunch of other stuff.

:thumbsup: :coolman: :beer:

So there Bruce is, telling me he is wasting time on my questions that have previously been answered. In my defense, I have asked different ones! Thanks Bruce!:lol1:

I know a lot of people would rather just go to 'right to the source' then spend a bunch of time reading. ;-) Heck, I do it myself! :-D

Maybe if I made the FAQ more interesting it would get read more?

No biggie, I do it all the time!! :thumbsup:

Yep. It wasn't too hard to do though. You get a feel for it.

UPDATE: Been working on it a little bit. Got the new LPW Diff cover installed and the diff in the cradle. I also installed the rear swaybar and new FTBR end links. You will notice the sway bar is still black. This is because I had the front sway bar coated and they didnt tell me it was going to cost 180 bucks to do because it was industrial PC and took 12 hours to bake off. :bash: No sir, not doing that crap again!:nono:
