Didn't think to look in FAQ.

Can they be swapped out under load?
-
yes, but one at a time. Keep a ratcheting strap handy in case you need to tweak the pinion up or down a little.
-
Are you setting the pinion angle too?
Not sure how you would do that one at a time.

Yes that is the whole reason for the swap.

Plan to spend some time getting it right.
Sucks with the RE arms cuz you have to remove one end to adjust them.
I got lucky and installed them and they were good.
Surfrider on the other hand has taken his out and in dozens of times.

Didn't see any that were adjustable installed.
Can't find any right now either.
I've been happy with my RE's.
Not like they require periodic adjustment.

Didn't see any that were adjustable installed.Nth* used to make a turnbuckle style . I have a set of those in the front
IIRC a good starting point is 3/4" longer than stock length . -
May have been a little dry.
New shaft with new upper control arms installed.
What did you guys do with the bolt that held the brake line to the old control arms?

What did you guys do with the bolt that held the brake line to the old control arms?I just removed the bracket off the E brake line . It's stiff enough to not need it .
