RC Lower Control Arms Installation
Hello All,
My RC LCA's were delivered, and now I want to slap them puppies on! My question is, what is the best/easiest way to install them. Is there any torque specs for the bolts? I'd appreciate any help/info. Cheers!!

I did this about a year ago during my 4.5" lift. I took out the coil springs, disconnected the sway bar, both lower control arms, and I think I had to disconnect one of the upper control arms (im not sure if this was for the lower control arms or for putting the springs in). Once this was done, I used a floor jack and a hydraulic ram to position the axle where I wanted it and put the new control arms in. There is a torque spec for them and will look it up in my Chiltons manual when I get home. Long story short, try to put them in and disconnect anything that doesn't allow you to do so. That's how I approached it, but I also was taking the front end apart anyways.
