I'm going to be installing this weekend. Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or things you wish you knew before you started?

It's pretty straight forward. I installed mine about 3 months ago.

Just make sure you measure four times before you use the center punch.

And don't forget to put the gaskets down on the body before you start to tighten. For some reason I forgot to use them on a few.

Ditto. The biggest pain was removing the bolt holding the right rear corner of the body to the frame. Measure, measure, and measure again.

Did I say measure that is about the most important part and a second pair of hands would help. I did mine by myself and it would have been easier with a second pair hanging around :eek: to get beers and such LOL
