Default Installing UMI stuff tomorrow

It's been a very long time since I've posted on this site. Loved it back when I had my 99 hugger. Now I've purchased a 98 SS vert and am doing some suspension upgrades. We are taking it on vacation soon.
I have a 4 post lift so will be installing the components on the lift.
Parts are all UMI. Front and rear stabilizers, 3 point subframe connectors for verts, rear lca's and adj phb.
Any particular order work best? And i can do all this with the car loaded on the lift (no jacking up the frame)
I will be doing lowering springs, shocks and Adjustable LCA brackets down the road, just dont have time to do them b4 we leave on vaca.

Well I can't answer any of your questions but I can attest to the quality of UMI parts. The design and workmanship is second to none with an added benefit that they monitor these boards like a hawk so any questions you have you are likely to here from them.

BTW how is your 70 rs coming along ? I put an LS2 in my 68 Chevelle vert with a A4 trans.and I can't tell you how happy I am with it .....and my UMI rear control arms.

Your Chevelle sounds like it's a pretty bad *** car.
Finished my 70 Pro Touring RS a couple years ago. I have about 3k miles on it now. Runs great, lots of fun.

Got er done today. Everything went pretty smoothly with the exception of the pass side 3 point subframe connector slots having to be elongated a bit with my dumore grinder. It handles great and no weird noises.
