Dropping whole axle.
So In January im going to be dropping my whole axle to put my spacers in. The reason i have to is the bushings are seizing the bolts and the axle wont drop far enough. What All bushings should i replace? and can i get them at advanced?
I figure ill Lower control arm bushings and upper control arm bushings.
Trac bar and swat bar bushings. That i may as well replace these while having the axle down.

it won't drop far enough even with the sway bar disconnected? have you tried a spring compressor?

try unbolting the track bar at the axle.
you might have to undo the lower control arms at the axle also to get it to drop enough. oh, and of course, unbolt the shocks from the axle too.

Are you using a two piece compressor? Never had a problem getting them on the springs. If your doing upper and lower ca bushings wouldn't be much more to do the track bar and sway bar while your at it.
