(It says to do the job in the air - I don't agree as explained before!)

Thanks for the link Stretch. Great diagram. Question: does the bar come forward when removing it? Seems it would have to since the tires are still mounted and on the 'ground'...

Well, that's two people saying to leave the wheels on the ground and I will take that advice as it appears you both have experience! As far as the hardware, you're probably correct aboout the nuts and bolts but I figure they're just 'pennies' to purchase from the dealer and I just "feel" better doing it. I may go ahead and order the brackets from Pelican as I should have done last week when I ordered my coil packs and the bushings!
