Default tf lca install/reccommendations

I'm putting in my TF 2.5 coil lift and have the lca's as well. My question is this...are the manufactures specs for lca length good? Also, at what point in the install should I put them in?

If you just have the lowers, set them 23in eye to eye as a starting point. Do them after you get everything back together and befor centering your steering wheel. Do one side at a time, jeep on the ground and put a floor jack under the pumpkin.

Look at the install write up here on the forum. One thing to note is when you have the LCA's installed, lower the vehicle with it's full weight on the ground before you torque to specs. Don't tighten when lifted so it does not bind.
