LCA/Panhard Install

When I install my new LCA & Panhard, should I jack the back of the car up using the jacking points or jack under the axle?

jack it up by the pumpkin, put jackstands under the frame (not the rearend), drop it onto the jackstands, then keep the jack under the rearend and drop it just far enough so you can unbolt the parts you need to replace and call it good (I'd recommend starting one LCA at a time then do the panhard bar last)

Demon has it right...stands under the subframe and jack under the pumpkin....you need to be able to shift the rear up and down to take tension off the LCA and PHR bolts so you can get them out and back in.

Thanks guys! Just got done & put everything up & it wasn't too bad. Normally if it is a 30 minute to an hour job, something will not work right with my luck & it'll take 3 hours.

Thanks again!
