Old Man Emu to the rescue!

Well guys, I just placed the order for my OME kit. I'm really excited, and will be doing the install myself (with the help of a buddy of mine). I've done my research on the install, and everyone says the same thing- "The rear track bar bracket is the only difficult element, so take your time and do it right."
Does anyone have some usefull info on the difficulties of the rear track bar bracket and/or pics of what I need to do? I know I should disconnect it before I even lift the rear off the ground, but that's about it. And from reading the various susp. install threads, I've deduced that any included directions aren't usually too helpful, so your input would really help me.
Thanx, guys (and gals). I'll put my pics up the day it's done.

'Yeller

I just installed an RE Superflex kit on my TJ...I assume you would run into the same difficulties as me matching up the rear trackbar to the bracket.
I had mine on in about 30 seconds (after I mounted the bracket). Here is how I did mine. Jack up the drivers side of the axle and let the other side droop. this will almost line it up. For the rest I just grab a hold of the trackbar with pipe wrench and had some one slide in the bold while I lined it up. It was really pretty easy.

Good luck!
