: I hope you are doing this yourself. I happen to know nothing and managed to install a front-end kit from PST. I spent a little too much for the kit compared to yours, which didn't include new upper control arms or spring perches or inner tie rod ends. I spent @ $180 on new tools which I will now have forever; some deep well sockets a spring compressor, torque wrench and some other stuff. It was extremely satisfying to do my self. Any way, I had no problems accept the self-tapping grease fitting for the upper ball joints were too small.
: The project that made me believe I could o anything with the right tools was: I overhauled the engine in my 83 Toyota Celica. When I got the head back from the machine shop it took me 7 hours to put back together and drop it back in the car. The next day I figured out that the timing was out 180 degrees and then it started right up. Back then I had a friend that had every tool you can think of.
