To get the bars out all you need to do is lower the bars all the way and then unbolt them form the front and the bar should come free! The only difficult part about this is that the keys tend to stay in place because they is not much room, so you will need to wiggle them out!

There are plenty of ways to get the bumpstops out whether it be a flathead screwdriver, cut-off wheel, etc....I know that you can unbolt one, and there are two that I just pryed off with a hammer!

Good luck, hope this helps!

I think hes talking about removing the metal that the bump stop mount to. I used a cut off wheel to cut everything out I needed to in the front of my truck.

yeah i meant cutting the metal material that holds the bumpstops on. thanks guys. Hey another thing i needed to know is there is some grinding involved with the LCA where it looks to be on the end where the hub connects.

You need to cut the hump off of the end of the LCA if you plan on flipping the ball joints.

Also becareful if you use a cut off wheel to cut out the bump stops. I have a few disks get caught and shred on me. I ended up at the eye doctor having some of it removed from one of my eyes.

Its a little tough to get it all out, but once you do one side, you will do the other side in half the time. You'll get everything figured out and know some shortcuts.
