No Kidding......that sucker should handle like a new car. Actually it should handle better.

Have fun with the installation bud. I've never really liked doing it myself, but then again, I don't really like doing anything anymore.

Congrates on the new parts!

Ok here are a few pics. They suck but whatever. Got the parts this morning, went to work, came home and I got the Idler arm on and also the passenger side inner and outer tie rods on.

The tires are BFG Radial T/A's 275/60/15 in the rear and 235/60/15 in the front.
