quick LCA installation question
 
Last night I ordered a set of LCAs from J&M. Is it best to install them with weight on or off the rear wheels? Is there anything special I need to know when installing them? They look like they're pretty straight forward. I just want to make sure. Thanks!

Its going to be very difficult with the car sitting on the back wheels. The LCA is the only thing keeping the rear axle assembly from moving forward and backward under the chassis. The weight of the body resting on the wheels is going to move the axle a bit when tou remove the LCA, and then its going to be very difficult to get the axle back in the position where the bolts will go back in. Put the subframes on jack stands, and support the bottom of the differential with a floor jack.

I totally agree! Except I backed my car up on ramps (12,000 gvw capacity) and blocked the front tires (front & back of tires), easy. :yes:
