Default G-Bar/Air Ride is in the car!!!!!!!!!

Well it some advice from many on this site, but I finally got the G-Bar/Air Ride suspension in. I am using QA1 coilovers. For those that wonder how hard it is to do yourself....it's pretty much idiot proof. Once I asked a couple questions ( https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=14478 ) and got that issue out, it took me less than 4 hours including taking pics. That was with a G-Bar/Air Ride ready housing though. Thanks again to those that gave the great advice. Here's some advice that I can give now to those who are going to install this kit. Many people mentioned using a hammer, I never had to. I'm in the process of building a rotisserie and had tall bottle jacks. I ended up using those jacks to push the main brace into place. I've included pics of that. The jacks only cost me $40 each so even if you install lots of these, it may be a good investment as it made is so easy. Oh...by the way Frank...the coilover shocks cleared the back brace. Again, thanks to Frank at Prodigy Customs for having the brackets welded onto the M9 housing, made my job way easier.
