    oh my god this was one heck of a job. wouldnt have been as bad if there wasnt so much rust underneath but got it done! couldnt get the lower control arm bolts out so we left them in, cant find bolts for it either!! the lower control arm bolts are discontinued by Ford, but when i take it to get aligned hopefully they know what would work in there.

    couldnt get the front leaf spring bolts out, so we lifted and turned the axle so we could put it on top of the leafs, barely made it!

    then relized the factory bump stops were too tall, so i put the bump stops that were in the flip kit on there. (just cut down the factory bump stops in the rear with a sawzall)
