On my JT I have the 1.5 level.
On my wife’s JLU, yes I added them with no lift or level.
Interesting. I am getting conflicting info on whether there is a benefit to adding these without any lift or level. Some are saying it will apply too much caster.

The consensus in the wrangler forum was that the JL didn’t have enough caster from the factory, so that was one reason the LCAs became such a popular option to fix the wandering.
I don’t claim to be an expert, or know all about specs, but I do know that adding the LCAs to her otherwise factory JLU made a HUGE difference in how it handled.
My JT with level and LCAs drives better than when factory.
My understanding is that adding the LCAs to an otherwise stock Jeep won’t add so much caster that you get to a level where damage or other bad things will happen.

Yes, you are correct. M18 2850-20. Does that rating not translate to being able to break loose something that is supposed to be torqued to 190?
I have their last gen mid range FUEL™ impact gun and it's criminally over-rated.
