    You will need the 1.5 or 2" webbing and some shims. While the self stick stuff is OK, I just used some 2 sided carpet tape. The hardest part of doing this is cutting the bolt holes if you don't have any hole punches. To mark the holes, I cut the heads off whatever size bolts go in the holes and ground a point. I then put some masking tape in the general area and when happy with the location(while being held in place temporarily with masking tape), tapped at the sharpened bolts, then removed it and made my holes. You will have to 'pie' cut the webbing to follow the frame outline or the webbing will bunch up. The shims - I do agree with using front end alignment shims. If you can't get them from a local shop, Speedway has them, 10 for $3.99 http://www.speedwaymotors.com/A-ARM-...HIMS,3531.html

    Now, if you haven't done a body to frame alignment yet, be prepared for anything from a very few to lots of hours
