LCARB: Install Question

Ok,

My only question is whether not the suspension needs to be preloaded (ramps) or not (jack)

Also if there is ANYTHING else anyone can think of before I try and install them, please tell me.

They are the UMI Bolt on versions by the way, and they will get welded on in the near future after installation.

Makes no difference at all. But it's ALOT easier with the wheels off and the car jacked up and on stands under the "frame", and the rear supported by jack stands under the axle tubes (not the shock brackets, not the pumpkin, not anything else but THE AXLE TUBES) so that everything stays still while you're putting them in.
