with weight. swaybars arent that vital with weight, unless youre tuning the car for competitive racing. but everything else needs weight to properly align, especially the LCA.

Loaded. Jack it up by the rear end & put jack stands there.

Install the items with the weight off the vehicle. Finger tighten all the items and tighten the bolts with the suspension fully loaded.

Hope that helps!

find the easiest loaded/unloaded point to remove the old bolts and install the new gear. Leave it a bit loose so when you let it back to the ground it seats into the loaded position. Tighten them up solid and enjoy your new found rear end stability.
