Got the fronts on! Wasn’t that bad with kdss, hardest thing was getting the damn tie rods to drop from the knuckle( I advise renting the tie Rod puller autozone carries, the hammer to knuckle didn’t work for me). I didn’t have to disconnect the KDSS, I jacked up the KDSS piston to do the passenger side then jacked up the passenger lca do to the driver side.
I adjusted one side down from 16 to 4 threads since the height they came with was damn near over 3 inches. As I began the passenger side the spanner wrench pin broke. I tried to weld it back on but after a few turns it broke again and I gave up. Hopefully the alignment place tomorrow has one.
Overall took me about 3 hours and would have been less had I rented the tie Rod puller ahead of time. I’m a ok mechanic and have experience with suspension and chassis work. If you have the tools this is a doable job for most if follow the directions and have a friend helping.
I’ll post pics of the stance once I do the rears. Over all the install was easy aside from the damn spanner wrench breaking. It’s kinda crappy that the damn spanner wrench broke so easily, looing forward to the billet one when they release it.
I also can’t speak on the ride yet until I have the rears installed and the alignment done
