So I've installed my fair share of suspension components and know that the instructions usually contain steps that can be skipped or worked around, and I had a couple of questions for those who have done the installs:
1) Would auto-disconnecting the sway bar before shutdown prevent the need to unbolt the sway bar when dropping the strut a few inches? Or would this increase the jacking height too much for standard floor jacks (20" of lift)?
2) I've seen mixed opinions/instructions on whether the LCA needs to be unbolted when lowering the strut.
I'm assuming the idea is that leaving the LCA bolted runs the risk of slightly pulling the axle out when tilting the LCA further than designed... but a careful re-install should be able to reinsert it if so, I would think?
3) Any other shortcuts or issues I'm not seeing?
