UMI LCA and relocation brackets question I bought non-adjustable ones, and hearing about improper install of the relocation brackets can cause axle to be off center. So would doing this on a drive on 4 post hoist be the easiest way of installing it? And Since it has 2 position, which hole do I use for strano springs?
for the install it will depend on if you have bolt on or weld on brackets. i thought the directions were pretty self explanitory. the only part that was a bit confusing is that you have to cut your brake line mount a little bit for it to fit around the relocation brackets (on my bolt on LCA brackets). if, for some reason, your axle is off center that will need to be adjusted with an adjustable panhard bar. there is two holes for the relocation brackets. usually the top hole will provide the best handling where the bottom hole will provide the best straight line traction. it never hurts to experiment for yourself to see what you like best.
More than glad to help! for the install it will depend on if you have bolt on or weld on brackets. i thought the directions were pretty self explanitory. the only part that was a bit confusing is that you have to cut your brake line mount a little bit for it to fit around the relocation brackets (on my bolt on LCA brackets). if, for some reason, your axle is off center that will need to be adjusted with an adjustable panhard bar. there is two holes for the relocation brackets. usually the top hole will provide the best handling where the bottom hole will provide the best straight line traction. it never hurts to experiment for yourself to see what you like best.
He's right! and it all depends on if you have the weld on or bolt on! If you have any other questions or problems feel free to pm me and I will be glad to help!

Just adjust you lca's and it will stay. look from the side and see where the gaps are in the wheel well. My driver side looks centered fine but my passenger side is alot closer to the rear by the bumper. Everything looks and runs fine it just bugs me when i look at it lol
SFC's Hello,
What do you mean uncentered? After putting the bolt in the lower control arms and then on the tunnel area it shouldn't be uncentered. There is no modifying that needs to be done to the SFC's or frame! If you have any other problems or questions feel free to contact us and we will be glad to help!
Thanks Again,
Jerry

looking at the pic i would assume that either the bracket was bent or it is installer incorrectly check the bolts to see if everything is tight. i beleive on these they have a section that you have to remove the lower shock bolt and put the bracket behind the shock, make sure the bracket is not broke or bent here.
