its still the oem style but im wondering if you have to drop the rear suspension on it or how do you get it to clear ? i fig if i have to cut the old one to get it out how am i going to get the new one in ? btw yes the rear is jacked up and the car is being supported buy the frame so the rear is hanging down _________________

you gotta unhook the rear end.
and jack the rear up as far as you can.
this is mine, It has to be pretty high, I used stacked up bricks AND jack-stands to get it high enough

both sides were down on mine....unbolt the shocks and unbolt the sway bar(i think...and there is two little bolts on the car to take that off, the nut with like 5 inches of threads is too hard to take off ) then there is a bar going across that I took off, you might have to too. _________________ -Donald
