Re: Installing the 4inch PRG Perf lift tomorrow

Took me 7 hours to do one side today. I feel defeated. I did get the one side done.

I followed the directions but must of made a mistake along the way. I took all the upper shock bolts off to include the main center one that holds the nut on the shock. I took the lower shock bolt out and it pinched the bolt and I had a heck of a time getting it out After a few hours I finally got it out. Should I take the lower bolt out first so this doesn't happen again?

The sway bar was a beast to put back on. I had to completely remove one side of it to fix my mistake. Do both sway bar end links have to come off to install this? I would prefer to not have to deal with it again. Should I have another malfunction with the shock. I PM'd BB and hope he can shed some light on it.

I called Greg and he said I should not have removed the main bolt in the top of the shock till last after the bottom mount was out.

I still feel defeated but At least I got one side done.
