I changed out the drivers side today, will do the passenger side tomorrow, getting the clevis fork bolt to line up with the LCA was lots of fun - there was about a 3/4" height difference between them (clevis fork lower than LCA connect point). The sway bar where it connects to the LCA has about 3/4" height difference between them when sitting on tires. Can't get the bolt to LCA hole. Any ideas on how to correct this?

just muscle it into place.. i've heard of some people using tie-down straps.. i believe i used a large screwdriver and small crowbar.. dont worry for some reason my passenger side went much easier!

don't worry about the sway bar until you get both sides done then when its on the ground you can get it reconnected easier. rachet strap works good for pulling in a Frankenlift, or it did on the one I installed. Didn't take any longer than the OME or the Rustys to install

Yea man this is a HUGE HELP. the pictures that I posted was the best trick that I saw and it took only a few mins to do. but you NEED 2 PEOPLE for this part!

PS:
The pictures are not mine, I just reposted them to help others out.
Also use a floor jack under the lower control arm. That will give you leverage and it will help you out.
