Non adjustable torque arm installation (Tips)

I'm putting in a non adjustable torque arm this weekend and i like some tips on putting it on. I have the instructions to set the car on jack stands maybe remove the rear wheels and rise and lower the rearend if needed
Anything else that you have done that will make the installation easy.
I have put the LCA's, and the pan rod and it took some muscle

Any info would help

Thanks

LCAs and PHB are cake compared to the torque arm. Have fun.

It is best if you can have access to a lift otherwise install will be a pain in the ***. This is not a very complicated with the right tools (impact) and a closed ended wrench will do the trick. Manuvering under the car without the lift will be the greatest problem. 2 bolts out remove the TA, slide that new puppy into the tranny, reinstall the 2 bolts and your done. Check your pinion angle with a magnetic angle finder just to make sure you are within specs, even though non adjustables are usually plug and play.
Just did a UMI adjustable with tunnel brace to take the pressure off the tranny, along with some LCA's and QA1 single adjustable shocks.
