Default rear suspension install order...

So as many of you have read i killed my car. Done whining about that, while its down there is no use in wasting time, lets be productive.

I dont need any opinions on what i should have bought and how i wasted this etc. Simple questions....

In which order do i install these parts as all are purchased and i dont want to be doing work over and over again. I have rear shocks,springs,lower control arms, tq arm,rear sway bar,panhard bar, subframe connectors.....i think thats it. Im going to install it all. Vut i cant weld right now so the sway bar and subframes are last. Never done rear sus. Work before...in what order are you installing,what tips do you have, what to watch out for and lord knows.tell me what NOT to do

I'm not sure about the torque arm and PHB, but doesn't the torque arm require welding???? to installd LCAs are easy, remove brake caliper, lower shock bolts and just take the UCA out completly since ur switching suspension style, jacks under the torque boxes, remove sway bar,then lower the rear untill u can remove the springs, then remove sway bar, then LCA. Install is reverse of removal.

exactly, but what i was afraid of, was doing the lca's, springs, shocks, and then going back to do the rest and having to remove all of that again. However i just done those three for now after seeing that everything else takes alot of work and like you said welding.
