No mention of this in the instructions at all... but I am assuming I need to connect the end links when there is weight on the car?

As it is now with no body on (and the ends sway bar itself being on 30 degree angle or so as seen in the pic below)... the ends of the long bolts are just flush with the hole in the lower control arm (the bolts were oriented head up and nut on bottom in instructions pics if that matters), and that is w/o the lower washers/poly mounts, making it impossible to get the nut started.

Yeah, they should make right up when the car is sitting on its wheels, though I'm a bit surprised that you can't get the bar to rotate a little bit further.

oldzy I had the same issue with my energy Susp end links...
I ended up using a wood clamp to compress the end link enough to get the nut stared took about 2 minutes per side

I had to drill and tap new mounting holes on the frame because the bar was that much bigger than the stocker. Did you have that too?

oldzy

Thx. I will prob to wait until tires are on... or compress it a bit to get the nuts started.

No issues with sway bar mounting holes... I am using the new Hotchkis HD Billet Alum. sway bar mounts for this huge *** 1 3/8" sway bar. There was little to no effort to get bolts started by hand into the stock frame mounting holes. I am hoping it does not get too close to the idler arm. So far though it looks ok, but nothing is tightened yet.

Looks good nice pics...

Boy! That is one clean and well done suspension! I think you'll find that after you re-install the body and driveline the components will fit as designed.

I agree. If the frame mounts are loose, what's stopping you from rotating the ends of the bar downward towards the LCAs?

Now that is pretty. I might need a set of those for my bar.
