Can anyone tell me exactly where these go? Earthworm51 told me they are to replace the factory part for the front swaybar, but we can't seem to find the factory piece. I wish RRO would have included some sort of instructions or paperwork with the parts.
:doh:

Sway bar end-link extensions, I replied in your other thread but those bolt to the tab on the strut, facing up.

Todde thank you for the explanation, and the confirmation that we installed them correctly. It's all done but the complete alignment. Took it to Sears yesterday evening and had a set of Goodyear Integrity 225/60/17's put on. I settled for some basic tires to roll on until I can put back a little cash for 16" wheels and a good set of aggressive, off-road tires. They were closing and couldn't complete the alignment but I'll get that taken care of today. I noticed a huge difference in handling and am very pleased so far with the lift and tires. Glad to have it higher. I gained about 3" of clearance. Up next: roof basket for my waders and decoys!!!

make sure whoever does the alignment does the rears properly - ask to see the results.

i say this because to adjust the new upper control arms is a lot of work. you have disassemble the rear alignment set up to take off the rear wheels and adjust the control arm. don't let them skimp out! It may cost you extra labor to do it right.
