Q on installing LCA relocation brackets

I have the BMR LCA relocating brackets and with regards to the holes in them that get the bolts from the lower shocks mounts. With full weight on the rear, do I just remove the shock's nut, slide out the bolt far enough to get the bracket in place and then tap back in, or is the shock under some kind of pressure and will expand out on me? I just dont want any surprises with this.
thanks!

the shock will extend when you remove the bolt but it shouldnt take very much effort to compress the shock to reinstall it

Exactly, they take minimal effort to compress back up. Just keep the rearend supported when doing the install.
