don't get frustrated with that spot welded bolt that you need to remove when installing the bsq kit. i couldnt get good leverage to knock it and eventually just drilled through it 
everything else went smooth for me though.

I took my sway bar off last weekend and it came off really easy, and from the looks of it i think the install will go pretty easy, just havent got around to doing it.

well i ended up running out of time to do this today..and no more heated garage..so i think i'll wait till spring
took too much time going to a store to get grease...odd that noone mentioned u need that...considering its needed to stop the squeks, and to get the bushings in

i used some teflon tape instead of grease. i duno why the welded nut was so hard for you guys. just a few hard knocks and i got mine out. just don't be scared of hitting it too hard.

i didn't use grease and haven't had any squeaking problems...yet. i've also heard people recommend using loc-tite on the bolts for the kit so they don't loosen as well.
btw, don't wait until spring, do it asap, you'll be glad you did
