Default Stock height: LCAs pointing up going towards axle?

I thought these were supposed to run parallel to the ground?

the best position from what i understand, is parallel to the ground. Stock may not neccesarily be right. Just throw on some relocation brackets and set em where they should be.

I have a set that I pulled from my previous 10 bolt that were welded on. They're a little bent up. I think I can bend them close though. Should work, right?

Hello
If the vehicle is lowered or even has the heater hose mod done to it. It will angle the LCA at the incorrect angle. Like mentioned above to allow you adjust the LCA to the correct position a set of Relocation Brackets will be the solution. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks

I see, but I already have some relo brackets, UMI. I guess it would be wise to install them then.

depending on how bad they're bent up, i'd recommend a new set. bending them back can weaken the metal.
