hey guys im gna be getting some jegster bolt on subframe connectors. i read that many people like em, and there easy to install. my question is, i dont have access to a lift, so whats the smartest and easiest way to mount the babys? also how hard are they to install? im getting em welded after installation... also they dont have instructions on there site, anybody kno where i cn find em? any help is appreciated.

 

im prety shure they just bolt to the tranny mount bolts up front and the rear control arm bolt in the back.

 

Put the rear end up on stands, and put the front up on ramps. All the suspension must be loaded.

Bolt the rears onto the rear control arm bolts (frame side), and the front where it lines up. You'll need to drill and install the bolts. They come with instructions and bolts when u order them.

 

wont the suspension not be loaded with the rear on jackstands though?

 

When your car is on the ground (driving), its loaded right?

The wheels are up inside the wheel well, and the springs are compressed.

What happens when you jack up the car and place jack stands under the rear end?

 

true i read that u shouldnt do it that way. dunno

 

what difference would it make?

 

i dunno none probably haha. the rear wont walk if i undo the trailing arms>

 

I wouldnt undo the trailing arms with it up on jack stands. I would put the rears on first, then jack it up, then do the fronts with the suspension loaded.

 

k sounds safer

 

i got my jegsters today and they say they bolt to the floor in the front. hows that gna tightn up the frame? anybody use these that can give me advice

 

........

 

Talk to Matt, or do a search for mw66nova. He has these installed on his car.

I havent installed mine yet. But i thought they would bolt onto the subframe.... Have you gone under and checked it out by lining it up?

Even if you do have to bolt into floor, get the welder to pinch weld along the seam on the side of the car (under the rocker panel area) every few inches. That is the main "frame" of the car, and welding to that will strengthen it.

if you still want to tie it into the front subframe, do what Matt did. He used 1 3/4 in tubing i think, and just welded a peice from the front frame rails to the jegsters.

 

I dont know if you installed them already ( i havent installed mine yet) but i found this thread, that explains the "bolts to the floor part".

First post.

 

ya i got them installed, they were easy as hell. took bout an hr- hr half and they look nice.

 

are they welded in or have you just bolted them in for now?

 

as of right now there bolted in. i cant get my car out do to over a foot of snow we got. but when weather breaks there gettin welded

 

Did any of you that have them installed have to dent up the floor pan? I rember talking to someone at Jegs or reading on here that you have to do that to get them tucked away. I am eather going with the jegsters or alston's if I have to dent up anything I know one I wont go with.

 

i didnt have to bend one thing. its so easy installing these subframe connectors, even ray charles can do it

 

iv done them there simple

my car was off the ground a bit and pre-loaded. im sure you could leave the car on the ground and unbolt the LCA bolts that mount to the frame then bolt the SFC there. jack up and support the front then swing them up in place and drill out the wholes (start back to front) ands easy...

 

i also did mine off the ground. just suport *** end. mine didnt walk or anything
