RE Long arm Final Notes

Final Notes

Once you get the entire kit in you will need to check a few items before you tighten up all the bolts. You don't want to tighten them until you have the suspension fully on the ground under load. This will allow you to tighten all the bolts in their normal position. That way flex up and down with be about equal to loading on the bushings.

Items to double check:

Front Pinion Angle (~11 degrees)
Rear Pinion Angle (~18 degrees)
Front Axle position
Rear Axle position
Johnny Joint ends (need to be parallel to the mount)
Make certain that the rear drive shaft is removed.

Now tighten down all the bolts. Go slowly and make certain that you have every bolt tight. If you have any questions shoot me an email and I will try to clear it up for you.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
