Worked on the suspension, drilled out and mounted the upper bag plates. Finished taking the control arms apart, painted them and started reassembling them with all new parts.
This was easily the worst part, plenty of persuasion from a torch and large pipe wrenches were needed. In the end we almost gave up with the reassembly, the new parts were not fitting together very well. We ended up having the clean the threads of the new caps with a file, and then heat up the control arms and put the caps in ice water, the combination of heat and cold and they finally went in pretty simply.
Took a jack and cycled the suspension .. the bags aren't here yet and already decided we aren't using the cups but will be cupping the arms.
Took a short video
With that, and wanting to see it down already, we removed the rear springs to get the back down more. The back is resting on the axle, the front is not all the way down, hopefully this would be about ride height once it is all set up.
