Hey Hooked, thanks for the great info. That answers my question about the rear carrier (subframe) having to be dropped. So would you recommend that I have the front end bushing replaced with new stock units when they do the job? Is the noise from the front really irritating?

By the way, do you have stock springs and shocks? How did new bars affect the ride and handling?

Thanks again for your help. Anything else you can think of, please let me know.
