Rusty's Lower Control Arm Install

[AJ-MJ]

I installed the Rusty's LCA's with minimal difficulties and no drilling. First, I read all the posts with tips and how to's on this site. THANKS! What I did was remove the large control arm bolt and push the control arm up and out of the way. I then started with the smallest hole towards the front on the jeep. I used long nose vice grip pliers to hold and get the nut started with the skid hanging down as far as possible. I then tighten that bolt up most of the way. The nut wedges its self so you won't need a wrench to tighten it up the rest of the way. Then, I put the large bolt in. I had to put a jack under the pinion to get it lined up. Lastly, I put the last small nut and bolt in. Again I used the small long nose vise grips to hold the nut. The last suggest that may help others is only push the bolts through the frame/skid a few threads or you cannot get the nut started. It is very tight and a bit of a pain but very doable. I know there are a lot of write ups on this subject but maybe these tips can help others.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Hopefully this will come in handy when I install mine
