Well, I found an enormous post on JKO on the loose rod end on the drag link flip kit... seems I am not alone! Temporary solution was to put a washer uner the castle nut, which allowed me to get it tight and torqued... contacted Synergy to see what the ultimate fix will be.
I also installed the stock steering stabilzer... need a special bracket for the fox stabilizer which is due in mid Jan. This will do for now. Here is the rod end on the drag link - tight, but over-inserted so there isn't much movement in it. Still must fix!
Then on to finishing off the rear - quick cut and grind on the grinder to remove a bracket, some paint, and on it went - pretty simple install, and looks to have nicely centred the rear (just a bit off, but once the lift settles it should be nuts on).
So much tightening bolts to 125 or 150 foot pounds that I broke my torque wrench!! So they were all done up 'super tight' - until my arms were ready to fall off.
Control arms also installed in the rear... no major dramas, trolley jack under the pinion to adjust when the new arms went on, and all good. These are nice and beefy. Mmmmmm, beefy.
All that's left (I think) is to run around the slam some Molly grease in all the zerks all over the place... and then when my motivation returns I need to install thos extended brake lines.
