My order of Chassis Saver came in today so I spent a few hours brushing it on the frame. Did two coats and it covered really good. The LCA's came back today from having the bushings and balljoints pressed out. I have to clean them up and brush them with Chassis Saver then send them back to my buddy's work to have the new stuff pressed in.

Also.....does anyone know what size front sway bar I would have? Is there a general size for the 1/2 ton with the F44 package?

I'm trying to find the right size bushings.

Spent a little time today coating the LCA’s with Chassis Saver. Going to send them out this week to get the new bushings and balljoints pressed in.

Had the new bushings and lower ball joints pressed into the LCA's tonight. Waiting on all of my mounting hardware to get here from LMC and I'll be able to start reassembly.

Well it’s a small update in a big way. We started reassembly!!

My buddy came over tonight and we were able to get the new keys as well as the LCA’s and torsion bars reinstalled. Also loosely mounted the UCA’s and shocks with the new hardware from LMC. We were able to get the new center link, idler arm bracket, and idler arm bolted in to. It’s finally starting to come together. There’s still a lot more to do, but it’s looking good.

Had two days off work so yesterday and today I hauled 12 tons of crushed asphalt for my driveway. Today my buddy and I got the hub, knuckles, end links, and tie rods bolted in and torqued down. Only thing that was a huge PITA was the end links for some reason.

Have to try to clean up my old dust shields and reuse them now. After that it’s new calipers, pads and front brake hoses. One step closer!

This is a weird question, but did you buy the $9 washers from LMC for the control arm bolts? Is there anything special about them or could I just get grade 8 washers from Fastenal?
