With the rear end installed I went on to install rear lower control arms and coilovers. I found that the some of the spacers they supplied were a bit short. To I ordered some steel tube from McMaster Carr and cut my own to fit snug.

Rear End Installed
We got the front end assembled as much as we could. The front spindles were on back-order so I decided to skip ahead a bit and work on getting the rear end installed. Before purchasing the kit I went to pick and pull and found a '92 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe to get my rear end out of. I took that to Reno Driveline and Gear and had them gut it and install new 3.31 gear and a Truetrac differential. I used some ratchet straps and the floor jack to get it into place. I replaced the rubber bushing from the Thunderbird with poly bushings.
