Dropping my 1st rear subframe, what to expect??

Thumper · 05-03-2011, 07:09 PM

I recently dropped my 1st subframe. I not sure about leaving the wheels on? I just used a jack and block of wood (to help distribute the weight), and slowly let it down making sure it wasnt catching on anything and tried to keep it from binding on the studs. I am replacing all of the bushings because mine looked rough, I am using the competition diff bushings, solid subframe bushings, polyurethane control arm bushings, and DTSS removal bushings.

The only suggestion I really have is to just take your time, that rear end it heavy!
