My 9" Install
Well I finished my 9" on friday night just in time for the GV show 
I figured I would post on how I did it incase any one had any questions on how too do it or how dificult it was.
1-10 I would give this a 5, if you have someone to help you could call it a 3.
A point so you don't have to unhook you breaks is to unhook the holders and get all the lines free then you can set them right on the floor.
With your car supported on jack stands:
Get the rear on a jack with wheels so you can manuver it around.
The 1st thing I did was hook up the Torqure arm and getthat set 1st that way the rear don't tip down.
Hook up the LCA's next, this way you don't have to fight the rear side to side .
Get your bolts and nuts in and hand tight.
Don't tighten them up, you need to have a load on the rear so they don't bind.
Set your springs on and jack up the rear about 1" at a time checking the springs to make sure they don't bind on something.
Get the rear up high enough to mount the shocks and get them tight, this will hold the rear up so you can remove the jack.
For 20.00 you can get new Energy SUspension sway bar links, well worth the money.
Slide your sway bar ends on to the sway bar links and get them hooked up but not tight.
Then hook up your sway bar to the rear and get the brackets on the rear but don't tighten them.
Hook up your panhard bar and tigten it.
Then tighten your sway bar brakets on your rear an then tighten you sway bar end links.
Hook up all your break lines, calipers and mound your tires.
Put ramps under the rear tires and drop the car down.
Make sure you check your springs as you start to put complet weight on the suspension.
Now tighten your LCA's.
Hook up your drive shaft and you are ready to go
Any questions just ask.
