My wife started laughing at me when, for the third time, I put in all the screws, tightened them down, hooked up the air to cycle it (not cutting anything) and all the screws just fell back out.

Bought a air saw from Craftsman the next day for $120, I think, not only was it quieter, it cut faster and got the job done in half the time.

Some of their stuff is ok but I won't buy another tool from them.

Sweet my friend just let me borrow his. Looks like I'm staying in tonight.


Man! I completely missed this. FOR SURE! Just tell me what I need and I'll get it. You're in S.D. right?
Yeah I am in SD. I think this is everything you will need.

sawsall
breaker bar
12-21mm - sockets & wrenches
floor jack w/ a few blocks
2 jackstands
hammer/mallet
9mm allen key
c clamp
and a ball joint puller would help but can probably get away without it.


And I bought a chicago grinder; there are definitely better ones out there, but for 20$ it has definitely gotten the jobs done.

Well I just picked up my friends DeWalt grinder so it should get the job done. Um... Oh yeah, any specific cutt-off wheels I should buy?

Sweet... I could borrow the sawsall from another one of my friends.
I just need to buy the breaker bar and C clamps.
Is the saw for that one bolt on the driver side?

I'll PM you later for more details.

Cut Sway Bar Mounts

So I took Blackpearl's advice and cut the sway bar mounts. I also painted the LCA's again.... 3RD TIME! This time I went gloss black to match the PRG uppers.

your sway bar monts are also your stearing stops when you cut them off you will have your wheels in your tierods, that is why I have to run spacers.

more thoughts on that, you have CST spindals that push your wheels out so you should be ok.

The spindles push your wheels out about 3/4" - 1" or so, you should definitely be fine. I wouldn't worry about it at all.
