Nice! Let us know how it goes and what you think of the "K" bar too.

Yeah it only took me like, a year to get to it.
I suspect what I'm going to find is I need something other than stock 13" alloys and tall squishy tires shortly after I get this stuff on.

LOL, yes i can relate.
I've noticed that one thing always leads to another on our Caddys. Redoing my head lead me to other stuff on the motor so I thought why not just rebuild it? So I did that. Then I started some other stuff like replacing my rear license plate tag lights, then sway bar after doing a 2 inch lift, added air shocks to the rear and then an extra leaf. The hardest mod so far was finding speakers to fit the dash on each side as mine were ripped in the cones. I need to do the headliner. And now, I've been looking at mini cooper wheels. Sounds like I need to go to a Caddyanonymous group or something!

So I'm assuming when one drills the lower control arms to mount the forward ends of the bar, it's marked with the suspension at ride height?
I somehow manage to have the only new set of LCA's in existence that are not drilled apparently. Of course.
Even autotechs instructions for the big bar they sell just say drill it with no specifics.

Yes, that's what I did since my LCA's had no holes in them in my Rabbit pickup. I installed my bar to locate the hole areas and used a sharpie to draw where the ends were and drilled accordingly (with them in the car). You can be off a little because of the way they mount. Its not a precision deal-breaker either.

Well, finally, I can say that on an 82 diesel LX Caddy, the drivers side bracket just does clear the brake lines(assuming I have brakes still)
and the passenger side fuel and vent lines are a holy mother to move. There is no amount of handling improvement in this ***ing
truck that could be worth that aggravation without a lift to work on.
I left one tucked down in it's original spot and moved the other back to a clear spot under/behind the upper part of the sway bar bushing
case. Still needs a little tweaking but it'll require more hands than I have at the moment. That fuel line is tuff. In retrospect I think I should have just
cut them and ran softlines there. I'm going to go drink a lot now.
