Ok so I installed the endlinks. Here are a few tips.

1. Adjust endlinks according to the stock height, match up the holes of the endlinks to the stock ones basically eye it out so that the stock bolts of the endlinks to the dezod holes. This will determine the height properly.

2. The amount of play in the bolts can be uneven. Like once you figure out the length to extend the bolts (very minimal) make sure its even on both sides. I may just be a bit meticulous about things but I think if there is even amount of space on both sides of the adjustment weight/energy will get distributed evenly and there one be any particular side that has more energy impacted then the other.

Basically all you have to do is take off the stock bolt of the endlinks on the top (connected to strut) and the bottom (connected to sway) and then remove it, if you find your self turning a nut tooo much then get a pair of plyers and hold the edge of the endlink gasket and then turn, the bolt is connected to the end and sometimes it gets stuck so u have to hold the end to get the nut off.

Pop in the Dezod ones again make sure both sides are even, put in the bolts and then tighted to 55lbs of torque and your good to go. Then when you tighten those up tighed up the adjusters that let you control the hieght so they dont come loose as well.

Make sure you follow the stock setup and youll be good

here are some pics

Exactly. Making sure the height is correct is essential.

I have no clue what the allen key is for.

The front goes as following.

Basically yes you will have hard time getting the nuts off, a break bar works best but chances are it wont work at the angle so this is what i did. I got my normal socket wrench and a 2.5 ton jack

I put the end of the sock wrench on the head of the jack and started to the lift up the jack yhe wrench will hit the end of the head of the jack stand and have no choice but to break the bolt.

it works!!! :D
