Pro Tip. General bolt info Turn the nut. Hold the bolt. So impact goes on nut, “never” the bolt. Otherwise the torque applied to bolt causes internal twisting and compromises the rigidity and strength. Leads to wear. Often times why you can’t reuse them, or don’t stay tight.

Misleading, u only Covered the simple stuff of bolt on , not the coil over setup and dampening . 👍yes add anti seize on threads For beginners, you don’t need aftermarket sway plus coil overs. The coil over will surprise you on handling and stock sway will likely be enough unless you are heavily tracking it.
