I am planning on installing a LTB 2 from blemco and have heard it can be a bit difficult without access to a lift.

I really wanted to do this, is it as hard as it seems?


I don't have a drop or any other suspension modifications, starting with this and the RSB.

Thanks for the input

car is a 2003

 

you should be able to do it with a jack and jack stands

 

+1. Just make sure you have the right tools.

 

ok, that is what i thought - i talked to someone on the org who said it is hard to line up the bolts and he stripped one...

 

where should i jack on the front mound and let the car sit on the stands?

 

its right behind the front wheel wells. you will see a notch.
you will probably need liquid wrench for the bolts...i know i did.

 

they are really hard to line up. make sure you torque them to spec, I think I over tightened mine, and now it is creaking.

 

Two people would help in lining this up, would it not?

 

cant u just use ramps? or do the wheels need to be off?

btw, u should really consider a suspension if ur getting the brace.

 

just got them on yesterday.

it's easier to take the front wheels off.

It's easier if you have someone help you.

It's a PITA if you have automatic like me.

 

Have a 6 speed no ramps but do have jack stands - i am doing springs a month after this install.

 

the control front control arm bolts were a pita to get back on mine. i had to use two sockets. one was put on one bolt, then the other on the other bolt. then the whole ltb mounted. i could not get one of the sockets on, if the ltb was in place.

 

Anyone else have a creaking noise once they installed theirs?
