Default Fitting Uprated rear ARB

Looking to fit a Whiteline ARB and drop links this weekend - doesn't look like it should be too much of a problem but anyone got any tips on fitting ? Anything I should look out for or do to make the job easier ?

Thanks

Don't know about the anti-roll bar, but the rear droplinks are really simple. Unless you are bigger than me you won't even need to jack the car up to get under and get the droplinks off. Make sure you lube the polybushes well or they'll squeak.

It is possible to fit the ARB with the wheels hanging, it is easier to do it with the weight of the car on the wheels. I think the www.whiteline.com.au site has some fitting guides.

Piece of pi$$ to fit. Easier to do with the back wheels on some ramps, but you could probably squeeze under the rear and do it with the car on the ground (or even on sum 2x4's)

did mine by leaving the car as-is and sliding under. Plenty of room even its been lowered alot.....unless you had too much to eat at xmas

Whiteline instructions are okay.

I did have a bit too much to eat at Xmas bob - but I reckon I'll just support the back of the car on my gut

Thanks to you all for your advice - it didn't look like a massively difficult thing to change but I just wanted to be sure before I take things apart
