Intructions for K-member/A-arm installation?
Does anyone have a write up on how to replace the upper and lower a-arms and the k-member with the motor still installed. Its a UMI K-member and A-arms. Looks somewhat straight forward, just seeing if there are any problems.

Justa FYI, don't mess with the nuts or adjustments till it goes in to get an alignment. The arms are set from the factory(UMI) to GM specs. I didn't know that and messed with mine cause the jam nuts were loose and figured someone just screwed them in and then shipped them. I really got into a mess trying to straighten it out.

Yeah, I kind of figured they would have adjusted them to somewhat factory specs. I just tightened the nuts down and installed them. I've got all the old stuff off and the motor suspended and the upper a arms installed. Hopefully the lowers and the k-member will go in smoothly tonight.
Did anyone use the spacers provided for the k-member?
