When you run the lowest hole you are bringing the arm below level with the car. This provides better geometry offerring more leverage in weight transfer to the rear of the car. I do not see a downfall unless you have too good of weight transfer and are dragging your bumper in which case you can just change the pinion angle closer to zero or bring the arms up one hole.

hmm im really curious. i had the brackets in the lowest setting on my car w/ the 10 bolt but with the dana they wouldnt line up (holes were too far back) so i had to take them off. was going to get them welded in but not sure if i should now. wont this also change the pinion angle?

If it hits the tires real hard then unloads i'd "GUESS" that you need your instant center farther forward which is what you are doing by puttin the lower control arms in the top hole instead of the bottom hole. Supposedly this won't hit the tires as hard but will keep the weight on the rear tires more consistantly while starting to move. Now, if it spins real bad off the line you may not be hitting the tires hard enough and may need to re-locate the lower control arms from the top hole to the bottom hole.

The position of the hole horizontally will only affect rear position front and back. The Moser housing LCA brackets are pitched back slightly compared to stock and would make the LCA relocation brackets pitch back even more. So you need to set the LCAs in stock location (with LCA brackets loose) then put the car on the ground. Now one side at a time un bolt the LCA and lower it down and pull the bracket forward while bolted in the upper whole till you can bolt in the LCA to the bracket and then weld it in place and repeat for opposite side. This will insure the rear is centered under the car no matter what hole the LCA is in.

No. You have to cut off the shock mounting part and they will though. You will need to weld them though. Well this is true for Moser at least. No experience with Strange here. But I am guessing the same would be true.
