I was wondering about the best way to align the LCA mounts on the axel. They are stock.

 

sorry, i don't quite understand what you're asking.

are you installing new ones or are yours bent?

you'll have to be a little more specific.

 

yeah confused also, arent they welded?

 

Yeah sorry about that. When I installed my lift kit in the front i unbolted the LCAs at the axel. I was just curious of the best way to realign the LCAs with the axel mount. The instructions I got were from the Rustys website.

 

oh, ok.

i usually bolt up the axle mount first, then muscle it into the frame mount. it seems to go a lot easier.

 

Put a jack under it?

 

A BFH and a really thick screwdriver/alignment bar.

 

and a good center punch to line up the holes.
once the punch is in, just hammer in the bolt to push the punch through.

 

You might be able to use a ratchet strap, I did mine by myself and it was a super pita, Rusty's bushing are super tight as well.
