Just ordered a bunch of BMR goodies

Got the cradle guard stuff, along with some control arms and trailing arms. Glenn at BMR said these would do wonders for keeping the car straight. Hope he's right. After install I'll likely be in the market for some better tires, too.

Then, if the car is hooking up really well, I can start adding power and start the process of searching for traction all over again

You should like them, I do! Also installed front of rear cradle braces. You can see a small part of it near the 90° corner on the fender liner.

I got that too, actually. It was like $120 so I just threw it in.

Ive now got the cradle lockout, a non-adjustable rear sway bar and end links, and the front of cradle braces. All great stuff. The rear sway bar was a real MF'er with the exhaust on the car.

Yeah! For the hassle of dealing with the rear sway bar, I'd just paint the oem one!

It helps if you've done an axle back, or just cut the pipes where an axle back would go so you could loosen the muffler. I think that's how I did it. It wasn't bad. I wrapped the tips in towels, too, so when it swung down-ward, the tips just didn't ramrod the facia. It wasn't bad after that.

I had the clamps loosened and off the hangers when the bar finally went through I was that close to dropping the AB to get it in.
