Don't forget the tie rod remover. Tear that boot and you're done. Plus a few beer if it's summer time.

Depending on the make of t he car and the age you might need to add a torch and some new bushings for the rears as well.

I tried that with mine and mushroomed out the threads, afterwards the nut wouldn't go back on! I ended up using a hacksaw to cut the bottom 2 threads off the tie rod so I can get the nut back on. :(

Not picking, just using your post as an example, but this is why modifications in general lower the value of cars. Because half the time, they're never done right.

OP, I always recommend getting to know your vehicle (more people should) and it's always a better feeling when you can do it yourself, but if you've never done one before, get someone there who "knows" what they're doing and doesn't use a BFH as a problem fixer.

Springs are pretty straight forward, but it's still easy to bust something that'll leave your car up on stands for a few days. And if you break it good, then you'll need to pay to get it towed if you can't fix it yourself. Also, spring installs have caused some pretty good injuries if you're not paying attention.

Also, always keep your stock parts.

Good luck with it.

You put a nut on the thread so u dont wreck them and you bang on the metal arm the tie rod sits in.
