Advise Requested for T1 Roll Bars Install

I picked up T1 bars from a buddy today. Looking to put Bilsteins on as well. Any install tips? How should I set the endlinks to strart off? I plan on finding a suspension shop in Boise (anyone know one?), but I'll do the leg work myself.

Thanks,

Schoon

skip the washers; Pfadt sells bushing grease that nix the noise

I've installed a few sets

Thanks. My buddy did tell me about the washers.

What about a baseline setting for the endlinks?

Also, if all 4 of your stock GM shock upper bushings are in good shape I would use those. I like the design of them better then what Bilstein gives you. You'll see the design difference when you compare them side by side.
