Spent the weekend installing an Alter K suspension I purchased awhile back from a member here. I finally got it back from the body shop and now I can finally put it in.

Final product.
It looks easy, but there are some things that you will need to have to install this suspension.
A lot of things were done between the pictures.
Assemble of the Spindels, rotors and brakes.
Cutting off the bump stops on the frame.
Drilling the 4 extra holes for the New frame
Cleaning and applying POR 15 to the frame area
Retapping of all the 4 Bolt holes the Alter K bolts up from underneath.
Bead blasting and painting of all the Parts and bolts that are needed to from the the old K member.
Measuring and test fitting to alignment on the upper A arms.
This not a one man project. We installed the K member a half dozen times during the mock up, then we removed everything to clean up the clean up the area and paint.
Removing the steering column is also a part that is not shown. That was done 3 times to get our measurements, cutting it, and then final assemble.
