    Just did some suspension upgrades....

    Been awhile since i posted. Well since then, I have replaced my upper/lower ball joints and inner/outer tie rod ends. I also put moog 80090 springs in the front, and adjusted my RAS to the max height setting. Then I also have four all new KYB Gas-A-Just police shocks. Here's the most recent pic I have after replacing everything. The ass end still doesn't sit as high as I want it to, but oh well.Click image for larger version

      Anyone else have issues with installing the rear shock? It was a hell of a spot to get the bolts loosened up top and I ended up just waiting to replace them until I get more information. Any tips or tricks to get that bolt out? Driving a 93 Grand Marquis.

        Just get under it and reach up. Having a ratcheting box end wrench for it makes it loads easier.

          Yup ratcheting wrench helps. I torched the lower shock bolt off, stuck an ez out on the end of the shock shaft, held a wrench on top, then impacted it off.

            I cut the top off with a hacksaw. Then the bottom came off the old-fashioned way: leverage with a breaker bar.
