Welcome!
What kind of help do you need?
Thanks for the reply!
I havent recieved it in the mail yet but i want to get ready and make sure i dont need any additional parts before the install. Considering i bought only the sway bar.
But how much torque do i need on the botls to install them?
is there a certain way it goes on and will i need an alignment after?

It's pretty straight forward and should come with instructions. You probably won't find a consumer available torque wrench that goes high enough. I want to say it's like 80 foot pounds.
You won't need any more parts, just tools. To remove the OEM unit, leverage is key. I used a 1/2" ratchet with appropriate sized socket and a 3' pipe, to break loose the bolts. Upon reinstall, I torqued it as high as I could and then used the pipe to get another 90-180 degrees more. I should be fairly close to specs. Hasn't come loose anyways.
The install PDF is available with a google search if you want to get a head start.
BTW, you WILL notice a difference once installed!
