Bolt In LCARB Question: Shock Mount?

Ok,

My question is,

With the bolt on LCARB, the bracket that bolts onto the shock mount, is there anything special that needs to be done with it? As in, does the shock just unbolt to let me slide the bracket in there behind it?

Pardon my ignorance, kinda new to the suspension world.

It doesn't matter if he has the bolt it ones. He can install the bolt in ones, and then have someone weld them in place. That way he doesn't have to pay someone to install them. I believe that you just have to unbolt the shock and the lower control arm and then move the lcarb into place.

Re: Bolt In LCARB Question: Shock Mount?

As RedLava said, I bought the bolt in ones for two reasons:

1. The bolt in versions are thicker, AND they have the extra place to mount on the shock.

2. I will install these myself, then IMMEDIATELY drive somewhere to have them welded into place.

With them bolted in, There is no chance of them being mis-aligned before welding.

Glad to hear this is an easy install, the brackets will be here tomorrow, can't wait to get them installed.
