You are welcome. It is pretty easy to do it yourself. Wow that is crazy that the bolt is 3/4 and not 19mm...both of mine were 19mm. I installed the same way (PITA) but since I used both a box end and the 1/2 breaker bar it worked fine. I used the box end on the PITA side (back) and the 19mm socket on the front.

I stayed away from the sway bar link side - what a pain to get those off man - My Addco sway bar comes in next week and I don't know how I will get the thing off. I look forward to seeing your pics.....I will post mine this weekend showing the difference between the two perch settings.

Changing the perch settings took a half day to complete. The front is lower than the rear by 1/2 finger. Take a look:
