Depending if Lance is free and this is a go.. Im thinkin I will leave work early around 12 or 1 then head over.. and it should be done by 3 for sure even if we run into problems. Im gonna hit all the bolts up with PB blaster the night before and since car hasnt seen snow since that last time we turned these bolts we should be good.

I actually will still have to dremel out my rear toe bolts.. I dont want to do that yet b/c it will prolly mess up my VDC and I want to wait till I get the wheels to do the fender roll/ dial in coils/ toe bolts together then get aligned at Tire Proz

Last time we did it we used a breaker bar b/c we didnt want to break the bolts.. its not gonna be that hard. Once we break it I have a Dewalt impact gun that we can use to take off and put on all the bolts.

That should significantly speed up the process.. I think I took like 5 minutes to mount all my wheels after I finished my brakes and that included torquing the wheels.

Janik's comment i 100% concur on...and was the only reason I asked. I probably won't do another suspension install without air tools.

I dont c us having any issues but if you want I can reserve some time at First Gear and we can use the lift and air tools on Sun instead.

How does that sound?
