Ideally you would want to install them with the car level and the suspension fully loaded. I put bricks under all 4 of my wheels.

If you are talking about LCA Relocation Brackets there is absolutely no reason that you need to have the suspension loaded. Jack stands will work fine.

You're right. I got confused because I was also working on my sway bars when I installed the brackets.

In my car it was huge. I already had Lakewood LCAs and a Spohn torque arm; each of those things made an improvement, but the car still fishtailed and wheel-hopped under power. The LCA lowering brackets completely stifled both problems.
