Installing OME torsion bars - 88 4Runner

Hey all. I'm about to install my brand spanking new OME torsion bars tomorrow. I've done a lot of work to my suspension and steering thanks to all of the great info here. I can't find a write-up on this mod/repair, so I'm planning to do one in this thread when I'm done (give back a little, you know, make it less intimidating for the next shade tree mechanic). The only tip I've found so far is not to over lube the splines.

Does anyone have any other advice that'll help me out? I have the FSM and the Chilton's manual but there's something to be said for talking to the guy who's done it before.

Thanks in advance.

spray a lot of lube at the bolts that you have to touch a day before.
Take the tires off. use jack stands on frame.
use jack to move the lower arm as you install the t-bar.

Did you do a write-up anywhere about your install? How did it go?
