I would also add it's good to have some gorrilla glue handy - this can repair any gouges in the stock isolator bushings on the spring and add some more stiction to the wheel weights.

Also some bug and tar remover from autozone to strip down any grime and some 303 aerospace to not only make everything else look new but to treat the suspension bushings since there right there.

As far as tools a uni bit will make the enlarging process quick and easy instead of a dremmel - the 1/2 inch unit bit is all thats needed and a large zip tie to secure the spring to the perch so it doesnt move or rattle over large bumps if you have the perch moved down to the lower notch

man the 9/16ths is a little bit small. It will NOT fit if you only use the 9/16 drill, we are having to dremel it a bit as well...
