Re: LCA and relocation mount question Here you go, http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...n_brackets.htm . BTW get the bolt-on type and not the weld-on's.

Re: LCA and relocation mount question Yeah, there was somebody on here the other
month who had weld-ons welded on, and they
got done crooked. The bolt-ons you can't
get in wrong, they're way beefy and you can
weld them up later (or right then) if you
want.
I got a pair of the bolt-ins and was surprised
how heavy the steel was. Solid. I guess the
extra half pound of unsprung weight and the
extra $20 are their only drawbacks.

Re: LCA and relocation mount question I installed a set of relocation brackets made by Metco on my '99 Hawk. They are a pure bolt-on! No cutting, drilling, tapping, or welding.

LCA and relocation mount question I heard that there is some grinding or cutting to your stock rear end in order to fit bolt-on reloc. brackets. Is this true? If so what did you use to remove whatever it is that needed to be removed? Any information or a link to instructions would be great! My LCA's need to be relocated somethin' fierce! Thanks

Re: LCA and relocation mount question I installed my BMR relocation brackets, torque arm and LCA in four hours. On the relo brackets you will need to cut one side of the bracket that holds the emergency brake cable in place. I used a air cutter to cut mine, but you could (with some hassel) use a hacksaw. If your using weld in brackets you can spot weld the cut side of the brake bracket to the relo bracket. If your using bolt in you can drill and tap the cut side of the bracket and the relo bracket and bolt the cut side of the brake bracket to the relo bracket. I did not find the installation tuff, however the math on my pinion angle was another story.
