I saw the thread regarding changing Rear Upper & Lower Control Arms. So, I went out and purchased a set of each. I have done most of my mods myself, except for the Stall Speed T/C, the H-Pipe, and the 4:10 Gear. How difficulty are these to change??

I did mine about 2 weeks ago myself. They are not bad at all. The toughest part is getting to the inside nut on the front of both lower control arms because the mufflers are in the way. I dropped the brackets that were the 2 furthest back on each pipe and had a helper push them out of the way while I did what I needed to do. The other part that was a little tricky was getting the LCA holes to line up in the axle mount. The holes were back too far. I remedied this by putting a jack and a small block of wood on the front of the diff and jacking the front of it up, twisting the axle forward at the bottom and lining the holes up perfectally. If you have any more questions I would be happy to answer or help as I just did this. Take a tip though, since you are in there anyway, do your rear shocks at the same time.

Thanks for the tips, I'll keep them in mind when I do the installation! I already changed my rear shocks, otherwise I would. Unless the shocks I have are crap.

yes, expect to spend about 4 hours on the rear.... doing the job at a easy pace, the nut toward the center of car is a pain since you have to drop your mufflers but other than that its pretty easy, i havent done UCAs so.....

UCAs are a piece of cake.
