Default Suggestions on 9" Install?

I'm about to install a Moser 9" this weekend. My camaro is dropped. Are there any suspension or other mods i should be doing to make the install easier?

Thanks.

I had just installed mine. You will gain about a 1/4 of an inch from tire to fender lip. I did. My main concern was the brake line bracket that was attached to the old housing. After you remove it from the housing, it will still be attached to the lines. I had unbolted the lines from that so when there was load on the rear, it did not crush the lines. Also, be sure to put the torque arm on first. That will help. It is very tight in there due to the casting that is bolted on the housing for the torque arm. BTW, I hve G2 springs, so if mine fits without problems (besides my dual exhaust) yours should. Good luck.

you're going to want to hit the backseat/tunnel sheetmetal with a hammer.... or wait until you hit a bump and the head of the top torque arm bracket bolt will do it for you. lol. make sure that bolt has a flat facing the sheetmetal, and not the point/corner of the bolt... otherwise it pokes a hole.
