Default Fox Gurus...advice?

I'm installing some aftermarket upper & lower rear control arms and some Pro Kit springs on my '93 LX 5.0. this weekend. But before I get started I was wondering if there is some advice from those that have been there & done that can give me that'd make it go smoother and easier? You know, is there any input that you might have that you wished someone would have told you before you started when you installed springs and/or control arms?

Looks fairly straight forward, but it's those "should be easy" jobs that alway seem to bite me in the ass. Thanks in advance.

Pry bar, floor jack and do one side at a time.

Rest is pretty straight forward.

if you have access to a lift, use it!! get all the bolts started before you tighten them.
