Bolt-in SFC question I know when welding in SFCs that the suspension should be loaded. Is it the same for bolt-in ones as well. I understand it would be ideal but is it as detrimental as they aren't permanently mounted?
Thanx!

When installing any kind of SFC, the suspension should be loaded. It doesn't matter how they are mounted (bolt/weld). The suspension should be loaded.

I use 2 sets of the plastic rhino ramps. drive up on the front ones, then jack up the rear to slide the rear ones under the tires and then let it down on the ramps. the rhino ramps are cheap and work great. I do oil changes and other work the same way.
