Finally got nice weather! 
Installed your set( 
) of Energy Suspension Bushings for the front--end anti-sway bar. The frame bushings were pretty easy. I used the heel of my running show to hold one end, then with my hand pried the other end open to squirt in the grease. Worked pretty well.
As for the bar ends, I was having a little trouble at first getting the middle section in between the anti-sway bar end and the lower arm. It took me awhile, but I figured out an easier way to do it. By bringing the bolt in from the bottom, you can use it to keep the middle section align and like a lever to bring it into place. Once it's there, take out the bolt, and bring in down from the top with the top and bottom bushings in place. Much easier after I figured that out!
Thanks for all the help 'Ride. I'm off to take it for a spin.
