brackets are all predilled. you will need a 1/2" and a 3/8" drill bit though. youll need to drill one hole in the lower control arm which will be marked by the lower bracket already for you. and youll also need to drill two 1/2" holes in the shock tower to bolt the upper brackets to. again, both very easy. youll bolt the lower one on there in place by the existing bolt holes, then drill the one hole. then for the upper, youll bolt it through the top, then drill then holes through the back. piece of cake

gotta get to the ups store and get some shipped out. yall should start seeing some tracking numbers here pretty soon.

Thanks Jacob for the updates and all of the work.

mmmm coilovers!!!!

sweeeeeeeeet. thanks for cleanin them up and beveling the edges and not leavin them all crappy lookin! haha

nah, they will actually look a little bit better than that one. my last flap disc was pretty worn out so i couldnt really clean it up very good. took the wire wheel to it to get all the gunk off it so i could snap a few pics.

How about painting... ? :biggthump:439::jester::tapedshut

Just joking. :scool: he made me do it.

i had planned on painting them just black. if anyone wants me to leave them bare then just let me know by this weekend so i dont paint them and box them up. i can do whatever. i could very well get them powdercoated for yall too if you want. not sure how much it would cost but i can find out.

Actually thinking bare metal, no paint.

I was planning to use a metal etching primer from DuPont then paint.

Bare metal for me.

im good bare metal.

passion pink is good for me

ive only read bits and pieces of this thread, but with this hardware, how hard would the swap be? all bolt in?

everything is bolt in except the gussetts. they need to be welded on. no way to get around that one

Black is fine for me.

gotcha.

and then just the coilovers need to be purchased?

there a link to the ones everyones getting?

Ty, you should get these and coilover your truck before you sell it. lol
