LCA relocation after SFC install?

Is there any issue with installing LCA relocation brackets AFTER installing KBDD SFC's? I hope to get my SFC's on this weekend but in mocking it up last night I had the concern that they may somehow interfere with the relocation brackets (when I finally end up getting them). Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks for your help!

There shouldn't be any problems. The subframe connectors keep the control arms in the stock location from what I recall. A relocation bracket shouldn't have any effect on it.

The LCA relocation brackets mount to the axle assembly end, not to the subframe end. Brackets are nowhere near the SFC's, and the SFC's should not in any way restrict the ability of the LCA to swing in an arc about the bolt on the subframe end.

Ditto, no problems with KBDDs and relocators. They both tie into the frame of course, but not at the same point.

Cool. Thanks guys! I thought the relocation brackets went in on the frame side. I learned something new today, now I can go home!!
