you need to look at the angle of the LCA's an see if they go up from chassis to differential. If they do, you'll need to add re-lo brackets to (at least) level them out

hey erik you really don't want your lower control arms to be level, you actually want them pointing down somewhat. I have the relo brackets on my ride and noticed the difference.

you may not have wheel hop now but as soon as you add some more power to the ground you will get some. They are pretty cheap to buy, I would just get a set and next time you are working on your car throw them on.

They are bolted on, but must be welded. Check out UMI, great quality.

I went with the Spohn relo brackets made for a 12 bolt. fit great. I am gonna check them this weekend and I might weld them.

I would wait to weld them on to make sure there are where you want them, mine have 2 settings I can use.
