[MENTION=68704]superman3043[/MENTION] The rig is at the shop right now... I'm waiting for the word so I can come get it the hell away from them! Haha yeah I should have known from the start when I told the guy that I installed it myself that they were going to d**k me around.. I had a sneaking suspicion. You're correct. Caster, camber, toe; top to bottom.
My buddy said the same thing.. Too bad I didn't have an alignment station I would have done it myself! I have no idea on how any of it could have been so out of spec following their adjustments.
1) I jacked the lower control arm up until I got the rig high enough for Jack stands.
2) I placed the jack stand under the front side of the frame
3) I lowered the Jack under the lower control arm.
4) I removed sway bar end links
5) I unmounted the sway bar
6) I removed the lower shock mount bolt
7) I removed the 3 upper shock mount retaining bolts
8) I removed the two bolts holding The lower ball joint from the spindle (I believe that's the correct wordage)
8a) I lowered the shock through the gap I had created by dismounting the sway bar and removing the two bolts from spindle
9) I used coil spring compressor to compress and remove stock coil
10) I used the coil spring compressor on the OME885 and reseated it on the Bilstein5100 at the lowest setting
11) I used a pry bar to press down on the lower control arm enough to reinsert the OME885 into the lower shock mount.
12) I reattached the upper shock mount bolts
13) I jacked up the lower control arm so I could get the proper angle to reattach the two bottom bolts to the spindle from the LBJ.
14) I reattached sway bar with sway bar relocate spacer
15) i repeated the same steps for both sides
16) I installed the diff drop spacers
17) I installed my Metal Tech LT rear coils and bumpstop relocates (no issue with those).
That is about it!
I think I covered all the bases. Thanks for the help and input guys! It's much appreciated to know I'm not completely crazy and that this whole ordeal has been a s*** show. Haha
