3800 Front sway bar/rear strut tower brace

[SaturdaysGS]

I have the GMPP Handling kit, and want to finish getting it all on. I have the trailing arms on, front strut tower brace, and the rear swaybar. The front swaybar has been sitting here for a couple months, and so I should really get to putting it on. What all do I need to do to get this one on? I was able to do the rear swaybar, but the front looks much more difficult.

Also for those who did the rear strut tower brace by drilling out a hole on each side of a strut tower brace, how did you "drill it out"? I bought one that had one side pre-drilled, but the other side I need to do/have done so I can get it to fit on the strut mount bolt.

Nick,

It's a PITA to get it on. The front sway took the most time to get on but it's worth it. Basically, I just played with the sway bar to get it in (moving it up, down, side to side) until it got in.

a partner will help with the frt.......just flip it down incase you install headers soon.....

also the rear trailing arms are know to take a ton of force to take off..

Like a 1/2 socket w your 5ft jack bar acting as a breaker bar....
tq specs are crazy on it to.......its around 200lbtq......
