Pics of when I installed explorer springs when I put everything back together.







Rear traction bars -

Heres the traction bars! Pretty simple installation! Spent lastnight finshing up the driver side!


Oh yeah, I painted my rear drums the same as my coils and tie rod!

The spring bracket for the traction bar.

Front tract bar plate mounted, had to drill 3 3/8's holes (an air drill was the way to go for that job) :thumby:

Fully installed!
