I am putting my frame back together and I ordered several parts, all of it came in except for the upper a-arm bumpers. I was wondering if I go ahead and install my coils and bolt up the spindles, will I have trouble installing the upper a-arm bumpers?

I did this and it is alot tougher indstalling those all bolted together than not. It really tight space in there to get them in, but it can be done. Just pop them in before putting it all together.

I put a jack under the lower a-arm ball joint and was able to raise everything enough to get mine in. I used aftermarket poly's that bolted in.

I figured it would be tight. My brain tells me to wait until my bumpers get here to put the front end together. However I'm itching bad to go on with it. graemlins/clonk.gif

if you don't have your motor in yet the control arm will come down solid onto the frame from spring pressure without the rubber bumpers.
