The dampener attaches to the sway bar? Well, that's no good since I threw mine out a while ago... :-/

I might make a truss myself, though, since I can do it cheaper than paying Calmini to do it + shipping

Nope. It mounts to the bracket from Calmini and to the steering link.

I attached my front skid plate using a piece of 2" x 2" angle iron instead of the steering truss - much cheaper.

How about when you remove the bolts from the control arms to get the truss in ?,, I looked in the Chiltons and I assume you have the frame sitting on jack stands, then put a floor jack under the arms just enough to take the pressure off ?.

It'd probably be safest just to unbolt the strut and take out the spring... then you don't have anything to really worry about happening

No, I don't want to take the springs out!! Those were a real chore getting in when I put the spacers on..Looks to me like, leave the weight on the wheels as the car sits, then put a floor jack under the junction of the lower arms where the bolt is, then undo it..Have to look at this some more before I have front end parts all over the garage..
