Good discussion here: https://www.hellcatforum.org/threads/looks-like-go-man-go-was-good-this-year.7822/
Thanks for all the tips on alignment, that's up next.
Crew Chief Greg and I opted to drop the cradle for the install. I'm not keen on cutting stuff on the car. I didn't think dropping the cradle was that big of a deal. Four bolts and it was easy to maneuver on the jack. Lined right back up going in, and based on the puck marks on the body once we put it back in it was maybe off 2mm from where it was originally, but the bolts threaded in very easily by hand so it was definitely aligned. To have any hope of getting a torque wrench on some of the bolts will require a rather long extension, but is what it is. Finally be aware of the factory toe link cam bolts. Passenger side on mine was a bit cross threaded on the washer on the back side of the cradle. Took us an hour to figure out why the bolt wouldn't come out, and I had to bump it forward with the impact while Greg used channel locks on the washer to get the washer free. Driver side just slid right out.
Definitely have a buddy to help as it goes A LOT faster.
