I installed weld on UMI LCA relocator brkts on my Moser 9" with an aluminum center case. With the bars set in the bottom hole, the only thing it did was make the bad behavior of the locker worse. I first started out with a cast iron center section and stock shocks=wheel hop. Then I did LCA's=wheelhop. Next I did Koni SA's=wheel hop. Then went to the relocators AND the aluminum center case to lighten it up=wheel hop. Do yourself a favor. Buy Koni DA shocks before you frustrate yourself with anything else. Oh and I also line up my drivetrain angles according to this site:

Its like driving a whole different car now. The shocks are on sale now. I followed a pop up add listed on this site.
I realize mine isnt a fabbed 9" but yours is still heavier then a stocker.

I just installed a MWC Fab 9" in my Z28 / Incredible Rear end !
You need to talk to Eric or Jason over at MWC regarding your Lower control arm & Torque arm Bolt locations. This Depends on the H.P. Level you are at.
You will also need to purchase there Adjustable Lower control arms to do this.
If your car is lowered you will also need there adjustable Panhard bar if you use lowered rear springs. They advised me not to Run lower rear springs for a better Launch.
I purchased Drag Bags (Air Lift Kit) from Jegs that go inside my rear springs.
Strano also makes them.
You connect a 1/4" Nylon air hose & inflate them to 5 psi.
I Decided not to use the supplied (T) Fitting so i can run a little more pressure on the Right rear Spring side of the car to Help Launch the car Straight. No more wheel hop.
