Rear links/arms/trac bar install questions

[SoSoRunner]

Hi guys I finally got my rear link set from Reszfab (ordered on Black Friday btw), I had a couple questions as they didn't come with any install instructions and I couldn't find anything definitive in the search.


1. What way am I supposed to install the upper links? Like should the offsets be facing down like shown in the picture or flipped pointing up towards the car?
2. What are the tq specs? From my quick search uppers were 60lbs and lowers/ trac 100lbs. Does this sound correct?

Any help would be great, thanks guys!

uppers 59 (so 60 is probably fine)

lowers are 96

I found this picture on Resz Fabs IG hahaha lurker I know...:bat:. So it looks like offsets need to point down.

Hope this helps someone in the future :dancin:

While you're discussing, anybody have any pointers on getting the driver's side upper out? I'm about to replace mine and that front bolt looks TOUGH to get to!

It's not terrible, it's just a pain in the ass. It will come out though.

I finally installed mine. Here's a couple tips for somebody in the future...
Drop the spare to help access the rear bolts on both.
The biggest pain, which I thought was going to be impossible for a while, was the driver's side front nut. Leverage (and a liberal dousing of anti-seize) saved the day though: pivoting on the control arm itself, I first used a breaker bar, then a long screwdriver to turn the wrench. There's literally no way I'd have gotten that nut off any other way.

Oh, it also helped that my driver's rear shock had mysteriously gone missing on the trail the day before, so that wasn't in the way.
