Shaunyg, I had no problems separating the ball joints from the UCA. You will not need a pickle fork unless you are going to change out the ball joints, which is not a bad idea. I elected not to change out mine as they where still in good condition. This is also the perfect time to put zerks in the upper ball joints. To pound out the old studs I took off the nuts and placed a jack under the LCA to keep it in place and beat the piss out of the studs till they fell out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

My initial thought about the project was to leave the t-bars attached and add the spacer and I would have 1.5" lift over stock. Well now with the spacers in my UCA's are real close to the bump stops, like what you would expect if you cranked your bars. Not a problem though as I will just adjust my bars down till I'm happy. So be prepared to adjust your t-bars as well. I wish I had measured the height stock and then after.

Joel, I got rid of the front flaps long ago, so no worries their. I will have to see about the rears but I don't think they will be a problem.
