I had a couple days away from the rebuild to kind of regroup and to get some other things done. To be honest, I was kind of tired of coming home from work and breaking out the tools for several hours so it was good to get away. I'm glad I did get away for a bit because the front suspension turned out to be a challenge, both to my patience and my sanity. The Quicksand Motorsports A-Arms looked sweet. The plating on them was super smooth and the big, fully adjustble Heim joints looked mighty beefy.

I had a bit of a fitment issue with the upper arm. It was a bit too wide to get between the mounts so I had to wrap a ratchet strap around it and pull the ends together about 1/8" and it slipped right in.

I broke out one of the new front shocks and tried to slip it in to place. WTF? The upper arm was in the way. Oh, duh.. I've got the left upper arm on the right side. A quick swap and it all slipped together, almost like it was made to! I slapped the front hub spindle assembly on to see how it'd look. Sweet!!
