I read through them. I plan on using my ball joint tools so I don’t have to uninstall so much crap. Hope there is room for it. Really rather not pull springs and everything. (But will if I have to!)

I don't understand why they want you to pull the springs?
Limeaide you never should have linked to these as I brought up my RK issues and RockJock was happy to tell me how to solve it
Solve it is best done with their long arm JL setup.....

My guess is so you have room to drive out the bushings.I don't understand why they want you to pull the springs?

Next time, I'll keep all the cool, new, just released parts to myself!!

One down. Used the press to take old one out, just stuck the stem of the press on the metal sleeve and kept turning and it eventually popped right out with a nice loud bang. To install, i had to use the tool they gave and hammer it in with my short 4lb sledge. Press wont fit in there to install it back. Was pretty simple just took a lot of hammering

Fully done. Passenger side is a little weird on the UD44 its hollow in the center so it makes lining it up kind of a pain in the ass, no room for the hammer, luckily i was able to use the press and get it in. Took a little trial and error to find pieces that would fit over it and fit in the space, but i got lol. Much better than those garbage rubber bushings.

Not in my case. Might have been a tad easier with track bar moved on passenger side but didnt feel like creating more work. I will say if you have standard springs it will be even more of a pain, it might be right in the way of where the hammer and press go. I was right up against the bumpstop with the press and hammer

Ok, so I need to order coil-overs as an "installation tool" right?

Here's how that would go:
Me: Hey honey, so I need coilovers to install this new Currie part....
Wife: Oh ok....
Me: Gee thanks!
Wife: Wait a second, how much?
Me: Not much, like 2 grand is all....plus installation, and I'll probably need some more things too.
Wife: Yeah, I don't think so! (after she slaps me)
So good luck with that @oceanblue2019 !
