Default Suspension Install Question

Hey, just picked up my Comptech tie bar/anti-roll bar kit......

I'm gonna install it myself, but I'm not sure if the suspension needs to be compressed to install it.....

The instructions show the wheel at full extension, so I'm assuming jacking the car up by the jack points is the best bet??

Anyone install an anti-roll bar have an easier time installing it with the LCA compressed??

Thanks for the help

It's actually easier to install the sway bars with the LCA hanging (not compressed).

It makes no difference as long as it's done on a level surface... so one side isn't compressed or extended more than the othere to avoid any preload.

Unbolting the LCA's would be easier, but it can be done both ways.
