Update: got the new rack in on Friday, it was actually MUCH easier than I initially thought. It took me 3 hours (1 hour was spent eating and 30mins was spent soaking a bolt in wd40) to get the old one out and the new one in. I guess 2wd coil spring trucks have it WAAAYYY easier than the torsion bar/4wd guys....lucky me, lol. I'm going to do a write up on it, all full of details and pictures but it's rained today and should tomorrow as well. To anyone who needs to do a rack and pinion on a 2wd coil spring truck: it's easier than doing drum brakes!!
