do you just unbolt all of the bolts and bolt it down or do you have to jack the front end off the ground?

u might have to mess with the battery tie down, but you'll see what i mean when u put it on. and dont, dont over tighten the nuts on the bolt, i did on one of the three on the driver's side, and fuggr popped off, and smacked me in the gut givin me a welt.

good luck, and turning will feel better

They only problem I noticed with strut bars, both cheap and name brand, they use shitty chrome allen head bolts and nuts. I have had the bolts sieze and then snap when I use the breaker bar. The first thing I did when I got a STB after that happened was go to home depot and get 2 good bolts and nuts. They don't look as nice but are a HELL of a lot easier to take on and off and can really be clamped down like they should be.
