LCA install ?

I've got some UMI LCA's and relocation brackets to install, and was wondering if it's okay to install them with the torque arm out and the car on jackstands. The rear end is supported with a jackstand also. (the trans is out) I got the LCA's used so I didn't get any instructions, and I can't find a write up. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

I don't really see any reason why not. Just do one side at a time and set the LCA's to the same length as the stockers and it should work.

If they are adjustable LCA's, preset the length of them to the same as the stock LCA and you should have no problem when putting it back together. I waited until I had my car all the way back together before I welded my relocation brackets up just to make sure nothing was going to bind up.
