Spent some personal time with my new R/T today! I received my BellTech 964SP kit Monday, but I worked a 16 hour shift; so there was no doing this until my day off today. Total time for the install was about 5 hours in my driveway by myself. I had read a bunch of threads here and other forums, so that helped a bunch. I sure would have hated to approach the rear shocks without the knowledge gleaned from the forums.
I took a few pictures along the way because when I was surfing for pictures of the front suspension i couldn't find any.
Here is the stock rear end with the fender liners removed.
I used a 13/16" crows foot on a 3/8' breaker bar for the nut side and a Craftsman 1/2" drive battery powered impact for the bolt side of the shock nut.
Here is the BellTech Street Performance rear shock mounted on the upper perch.
Here's a comparision of the rear bump stops.

Here is how the PanHard Bar sits with the truck back on the ground.
Rear suspension complete! You can see the sway bar end links BellTech provided in this shot.
