    Cool thanks! Did you have to drop the gas tank for the install?

    Yes, we did the drop. You can't pull the front bolt otherwise.

    The tank doesn't need to be fully removed, and the lines can remain connected. I removed all gas tank skid bolts except for the one directly over the front of the rear driveshaft (cause that's a PITA to get out without disconnecting the shaft). Using a good floor jack, lower the tank slowly, just enough to slide the bolt out. Be careful of the fuel pump electrical wires; the control arm bolt will need to slide over them so you want to make sure not to "force" the bolt or you might damage those wires.

    Yes Matt. I ordered the lower control arms separately and installed them.

    Yep, that looks like the bad angle I had.
