No instructions came in with them , but I'd assume that it goes in the opposite (upside down) position from this pic: http://www.rubiconexpress.com/images/tnRE3700.jpg Whit the superflex joint to the body...

oh and how to put the uppers on as well?? http://www.rubiconexpress.com/images/RE3715.jpg I know the superflex joint goes on the body, but is it in this position or upside down from this??

Thanks all

Flex joint on the axle side.

Lowers go with the spherical joint at the axle, rubber bushing at the body. Grease fitting goes up (keeps it protected) and turn it so that it's not parallel with the arm.

IIRC, on the uppers, I put the grease fitting on top. I think there's an interference on the bottom.

Hey Kejtar

I don't know if you're done with your install yet. Just wondered what lengths you ended up with for UCA's and LCA's, and how you came up with them.
Thanks,
T

LCA's are fixed.... I think they are 16" and UCA's I set to 15.5" per recommendation that I got from RCP... and now it's getting aligned but I did run it on he freeway and got it all the way up to 80mph and it felt good.
