llft installation question

[Mr. Bill]

I just installed a 2.5" Superlift (got 3"'s of lift, no vibrations, without using the TC drop) on my TJ last weekend but I didn't put the front LCA's on because of the way the instructions were written.

On the rear of the vehicle, It says to jack it up, take everything off (springs, shocks, LCAs), install theirs, then put the wheels back on and lower it to the ground.

On the front, it has you replace the springs and shocks, then put the wheels back on and lower it to the ground.
Then the instuctions say to mark the bolts and LCA brackets, then replace the front LCAs.

Does anyone have any idea why they do this?
Is marking the bolts a generic way make sure you torque them back to original specs?
If so, I have a torque wrench, does any one know the ft-lbs for the bolts on the lower LCAs?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

William,

I'm gonna assume it has something to do with setting the camber.

If you don't get it figured out by Monday, let me know and I'll meet you and see if I can help out. Page me at 961-4679 if you want.

[Mr. Bill]

Thanks DeWayne.

I've never messed with the camber before. I'm going to that BBQ on Sunday and I'll see if anyone can verbally walk me thru the procedure, if not, I'll page you monday after I get out of class.

Sounds good. Enjoy the meet. Wish I could attend, but work beckons as usual. If you do need my input, keep in mind I get off at 3:00 pm and head to my second job at 4:00. I can get with you anytime before 3:00 though.

They have you mark the bolts, as they are the cambered bolts, used to set the castor.. You notice that they have scribed lines on them.

Thanks. I go under there today and noticed that. I was fixing the bolt I cross-threaded on my trackbar but I'll get to the LCAs in the next couple of days.
