By mounting bracket do you mean where to put them disconnected?

Ok cool. I'm used to the zip tie method, so I might just stick with that.

How do I get the retainer clip back into the control arm bushing? My lift showed up and in a couple arms, the clip came out. I'm thinking a socket and a c-clamp??

Just out of curiosity, do you guys know if the 3.5" game changer arb edition gets rid of the factory rake without adding spacers? If not, what do you recommend to get rid of it spacer-wise?
