Post LCA Relocation Brackets
Has anyone done this themselves? Any advice? I bought a set from UMI. Looks straight forward. The bolts look like they're tough to get to with an impact gun. Looks like I'll be using a wrench and muscle!

Thanks for any input.

They are a piece of cake to get with an impact gun. Did you get bolt on ones or weld in? Hopefully weld in.

I'm sure they work. Weld in is the way to go. Just like roll cages, and sfc. Sure you can bolt them on...but whats that really do?Everything is still jointed and has pivot points.

The bolt on ones I have mount to the shock holes as well as the LCA bolt holes...they aren't moving a bit...

Good for those of us that can't weld.

I personally do, but that is just me. I generally replace them every oil change.
