Unbolt the LCA.
Cut the brake line mounting bracket in half (LS1 cars).
Use the bolt and the steel spacer sleeve to bolt the top of the bracket to the rear axle (don't forget to bolt the remaining 1/2 of the brake hose bracket under that bolt as well).
Bolt the shock back in place (through the bracket from BMR, then the axle bracket and tighten the nut on the back side of the axle).
Install your LCA's into one of the 2 lower holes, bolt in place.
It's an easy install (the hard part is cutting the brake hose bracket). I used a sawzall (with a bolt behind the bracket to space it off the axle) and cut it on the car. Bolted everything in place and loaded the suspension to torque the fasteners.
I'll try to answer any questions you have, ask away.

I just sat behind the car and pressed the axle forward with my foot to get the bolts in (someone else installed the bolts). You could use an axle strap and a tie down or a come-a-long to pull it forward if needed.
