Ok as the the title says I got my bilsteins in the mail today. I'm going to put them on tomorrow if all goes to plan. I have read that you have to unbolt the upper ball joint and sway bar. Anyways I have tried searching but on the mobile app isn't good. Does anyone have a link of write up of installing them. I kno I have read them but can't find them. Another thing what are the torque specs.

Thanks in advance

I believe you need spring compressors to change the fronts. Or at least you do if you need to reuse the factory coil spring.

I cannot help with the install but will definitely look forward to a review once they are installed. This is one upgrade I have been seriously considering. Did you get fronts and rears? What height are you going with?

Definitely need a compressor. Look up hellbent steels directions for spacer install... It should have all the torques you need and what not.

The directions that came with them will tell you how to assemble them. You may be better off taking old ones and have someone take the springs off to swap over.

I got the spring compressors obviously but what is the torque specs on the sway bar that connects to the a arm and what is the upper ball joint torque spec

Standing here putting them on and can't decide where to put this ring .75 or 1.5. Man I can't decide

1.5! I put mine at 2.25 and love it.

Eh I put it on the .75 onto the second one I feel as if ill be stretching the front end too much. I jacked it up with a floor jack first and the steering 4x4 components looked way outta whack. So i decided the .75.
