Default Adjustable LCA brackets. How to install?

I have one question about the Adjustable rear lower control arm brackets. Do they have to be welded to the stock section where the LCA is bolted to or do you have to cut the stock points and then weld the Adjustable rear lower control arm brackets. Does anyone have any pictures of them istalled?

Depends if you got the Weld-ons or the Bolt-on versions.

The names are pretty self explanatory. I have the Bolt-ons....they....bolt-on <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I know the part of weld ons or Bolt ons. Thats not what I asked. I have the weld ons and need to know if they just weld on top of where its supposed to go or do I have to cut out where the LCA used to bolt and then weld the brackets.

Oh sorry. I mis-read.

I am about 99% sure that you just weld them on top of where the stock LCAs went, no cutting involved. But don't trust me, I've never welded em before.

Try emailing Brett at http://bmrfabrication.com, he might even have instructions on the site (doubtful).

He usually responds quickly.

You have to cut the inner peice off the brake line bracket with a dremel so that the LCA bracket will fit. After you cut it off slide the bracket into place and put the top bolt in and bolt it tight,then position the control arm into what setting you want (mine is on the lowest spot) and bolt in down tight. After all that is done take it to where it will be welded up. I welded up the sides to the stock LCA bracket on the rear end houseing.

I had to do the same with the bolt-on's; dremel the brake line bracket out of the way.
