Let me say this was a horrible install. Not because of the kit, but because no matter what I did I could not get the UCA ball joint to pop. Ended up pulling the whole steering knuckle, UCA, and LCA out.
Tried pickle forks, hammering the steering knuckle, what ended up work was using a pulley puller putting pressure on the shaft on the ball joint and hitting the steering knuckle.
Then when I put it back together, i put the rotor dust covers on wrong and had to pull it all apart again, because the rotors wouldnt go on.
I did put the UCAs from the mopar lift kit on.
I was going to do a comparison between the stock and kit UCAs but I was beyond pissed.
I cannot tell you how the ride is yet, the alignment is crazy out of wack... will know more later today after the alignment is done.
AMP Steps and new wheels/tires going on today also.
Btw its a 36mm socket for the axel nut... yeah, it went that deep.
