That is the big question. If everything goes smooth and no major hiccups, then yes, I believe it will be.

Dropped the oem front sway bar. Teflon taped the bar and will grease the tape and bushings before installing onto the Hotchkis bar. This thing is beefy compared to oem!.
I am wondering when I pull the OEM endlinks out if that is going to cause the shock to drop a bit and make getting the new ones in a pain. Not sure how I am going to configure something to raise the suspension back up a hair while the car is on the lift.

Picked up a can of Rust-oleum Cold galvanizing spray. Will hit the hood where I cut out for the vents and then I can rivet them in place.

pretty much what I was thinking. Not sure if I have space with the runway on lift or not. It just started freezing rain and snow and I dont want to walk back out to the garage to look at it.

It's pretty neat to be honest. Treat yourself to the quick jack! You know you want it.

If you are replacing the end links. You have to let the tires hang down. All of the front end weight is on the long bolts for the lower coil-over/end link bolt.

Just think of the savings you will have when you decide to install some mods yourself! It could pay for itself very fast!
