What's the easiest way to get the stock rear diff bushings out? I have a Harbor Freight Press but can't figure out how to set it up to get those bushings out... I was able to knock the subframe bushings out with a hammer and socket but the diff bushings were giving me a hard time. I may have to cut them out...

Question to people running extended ball joints. I have a set extended but it seems like my tie rod end does not want to extend out enough. Im guessing it might be from the length I extended it, but what are peoples solutions to something like this?

I extended one of mine 2" just for ***** and gigs and ended up with -10* camber. I have a feeling those are going to be a little long, 1.5" put me at -6.3* and it feels perfect.

Yea error on my part... I extended tie rods 3" the lower balljoint is only 1.5" at the control arm. 3" total overall track width. Fail post failed
My camber is at 4.6* and i can probably go up to 6* with the adjustment left on the upper camber plates

Thanks all
