Bushing Overhaul, Chapter 1

What would you mark when removing stock OEM bushings?

This is after the springs and shocks are installed...

"The first step is to secure the vehicle. The vehicle should be on the ground, at normal ride height. Secure the vehicle by blocking the rear wheels. Put jack stands under the front section of the frame. There is no need to jack the vehicle up, put make sure the jack stands are located under the frame to support the vehicle in case the axle moves or rotates under the frame.

Next step is to mark the arms as per the instructions that is supplied with the kit. Mark a vertical (plum-bob) line through the center of the front bolt onto the arm."

Thanks for the help one more question are the bushings really necessary or can I just go with the stock one?

those bushings are to help with the new angle your axle will be at (Caster) use them not old ones.

End result, more pics will come as soon as I figure out how to get it out of the garage now that it's 2.5 inch lifted and out won't fit the garage door

Looks nice, maybe just deflate the tires?

Air down the tires. That thing sure looks clean. Now you need some brush scratches
