Dropping next weekend

[dropmech]

So I finally pieced together my 2/4 and I'm putting it in next weekend. Besides a torsion key clamp, will I need any other special tools? Will I need to cut or replace any bumpstops? I'm putting in purple keys up front, nitros all around, belltech springs in the rear with shock extenders. I know I should spray the ever-living crap out of the key bolts a few days prior. Any other tricks I should keep in mind?

12 pack of beer and a big dead blow hammer to knock crap loose. And also oil the crap outta the top bolts on the front shocks cuz they're a pain. Mine were frozen and I busted out the grinder and cut them off.

I replaced my bump stops, the old ones were all torn up. I cut about an inch off of them before installing them.

The only difficulty I had was getting the torsion bars to push forward out of the keys and lower arms, had to use an air hammer to drive them out.

Good luck!

This. However, after the first time, they go in and out pretty easily

Sweet. THanks guys. I'm gonna try to knock it out this weekend. I'll keep you posted!
