I know that somewhere there was a write-up on installation of a RE BB. Can someone please post that? Thanks

Hey fellow Hoosier, I installed my REBB last night. It was setting on the door step Tuesday night. I went out that night and bought that damn T-55 bit for the sway bar, PB Blaster, and some lithium grease and last night after work I set out to get it done. I worked by myself (I'm a moron when it comes to mechanics) and finished in about 4 hours.

Some problems I encountered:

Front shock, top stud stripped and I could not get the nut off so I used my trusty sawzall to solve the problem

RE's hardware bag shorted me the bar pin for the lower front shock mount. I was forced to press out the bar pin from the old shock which was vulcanized into the bushing. PITA

Thats it, I surprised myself. It went quickly and the ride is great. I've seen other threads complaining about the new shocks that RE is using for their kits but when my kit arrived it had the DT 3000 shocks in it. To top it all off while I was finishing up the install Swiss Mountain 4x4 where I bought the kit form called and told me that I won a set of JKS Quicker Disconnects as part of a Christmas promotion. That was the best part of the night! I never win anything.
