installing new shocks and sway bars ?

[Crispy Niggets]

Is there anything I should know before installing my new shocks and repacment sway bars? Whats the appropriate place to put my 2 jack stands and jack? Any special care I need to take during the proccess of removing and installing?
I have a rebuild/tairdown book Im going to use as a guide.
(Its a 95 xlt 4x4 by the way)

Well yesturday we put the sway bar and shocks on, it drives like a car! It has made my vehicle feel stable, secure, and agile. Love it! I would recomend the sway bars to anyone wanting a better, funner, drive! Now I reeeeeeeaaaally watch my speed-lol
The monroe sensatrac shocks did a good job, although I can see were the edelbrock shocks would have been better- still Im satified. Body roll is barely noticable now with the combo and the vehicle never felt uncertain. It took me and my dad from 3-11:00pm to finish: due to our incompatible likeness. The only problem we had were the bolts wich were a bit stuck, defently inpossible without an impact drill, my jack stands were also a bit to small and only lifted the vehicle about half an inch between the wheel and the ground. I love my new setup and will post pictures on my cardomain site. thanks to ee for their awsome product and steler service! it would have cost me $250 for instalation of shocks and bars so I feel it was well doing it ourselves!

Not that many off-roaders run swaybars, but has anyone really put an EE sway-bar on an off-road rig to see what kind of handling they get on-road? Any difference in characteristics between the stock and EE for off-road vehicles with lift kits?
