The HBS instructions say I'll need a torque wrench that can handle at least 351 ft lbs. I haven't been able to fine a wrench that goes that high. Any ideas where I "rent" one? I've checked Walmart, Sears, autozone, and nothing they have covers that. I'm starting to think it might be best to let a pro handle this job.

I thought 351 was a typo...I did 151 and that was hard to achieve lol. And like you said never seen a wrench capable of that.
Just installed my Rancho quickLifts to replace my HBS 2.5" Level and it was a PITA to get the driver side ball joint disconnected with the level kit already on. Once off it was a breeze from there, including the passenger side, and I just did 259lbs for the bottom bolt/nut cuz that was where my torque wrench topped out and that took me pretty much standing on it so I think it'll be ok. Haven't got to try the new setup out compared to the old yet cuz the alignment needs to be done in the morning but am excited to see the difference!

Yeah mine said to torque at 351 I couldn't even find a wrench to go that high, I went to 151 and that was difficult to achieve lol used 'red' threadlocker on everything also.
I tightened all my bolts good.. And drove it to the shop that did the front end allignment and had them check over everything.
Me too, they said it looked perfect I remember having to hit the control arm pretty hard with a ten pound weight to pop it free. Over than that it was simple.
