So, I installed it this weekend.... Let me say that I did not like the way that the instructions said to do this.... First off the instructions say to jack the truck up and remove both wheels. I learned the hard way that if you do that when you go to jack the control arm back up it will lift the whole truck. So, ONLY DO ONE SIDE AT A TIME. The second thing I did not like was it said remove the tie rod end and then remove the upper ball joint nut. Well, if you do it that way when you go to loosen the ball joint the whole damn spindle moves on you. The way you should do it is, loosen the tie rod end and then loosen the ball joint,, then remove the tie rod. Well as you can see, the first side I did took me about a hour and a half where as the second side only took about 30 minutes. Let me say I love the look of the truck but I don't like angles of the ball joints Check out the pictures in my gallery
