Side Note --> thoughts on AIR TOOLS ?? -->
Went down to sears and they have a Craftsman impact wrench for $75, 2hp air compressor for $99..... is there any way to get a torch wrench for the air compressor too?? Good idea???

there's a torque stick attachment that simulates a torque wrench but if you're torquing
something it should really be done with a torque wrench imo. The torque stick is ok for doing suspension installs but when it comes to the wheels, l'd definately use a manual torque wrench. Get the torque stick if it's priced reasonably

Not bashing you here, but do you know what you are doing?
Frist you ask to download or obtain a "Pirated" copy of the the Bentley CD. Then you are going to Sears to buy a torque wrench and compressor. Sounds like you are trying to install the suspension with little knowledge. Do you have all the other tools to perform this? You could be getting into trouble not knowing what you are doing. You could pay a specialty shop to do the install for what you will pay for tools and manuals! If you feel comfortable doing this then go for it!

Just be careful...Springs can kill you if the compressor slips and the spring unloads..
It is not as easy as it sounds.
BTW, air tools are wonderful for taking things apart, use hand tools for re-assembly. You have better control over the torque and such.
