I have finished the install, the swaybar installation went as smooth as all the other componants. With the exception of the power steering hoses and hose kit. Be aware that this is a vehicle specific kit. This steering box is meant to connect to the power steering pump. The engineers at Detroit speed have the steering box and they have a stock pump, they know what it requires to connect the two. They sent (a last minute special order as it wasn't included) my customer a couple hoses with ends crimped onto one end, a couple adaptors for the steering box and a 90degree hose end to be installed after cutting the hose to fit. They charged about $180 for that kit. There wasn't any adaptor for the pump to connect the pressure hose (as i described) and the 90 degree hose end were not swivel hose ends but fixed so that when you tighten it in the vice then that is where it points to, you cannot clock those type of hose ends.
To connect the pump to the steering box took the better part of a morning - one hose. I tried to get a pic and my camera just can't capture it, but that whole piece of the puzzle is an eyesore and an insult to the rest of the installation. I have emailed Detroit Speed and have yet to hear back.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
