Default Help STB install question?

Okay, now that i got the carson stb, my question is, do i need to jack the car up or can i just loosen all the nuts, and just lay the bar on top of the bolts, and then tighten the nuts up? The reason i'm askin this is because i don't want the whole suspension to fall out of its place when i loosen the nuts. Sorry for the inexperience question.

It depends..some do some dont..Start by removing the bolts without raising the car.If it fits..well you're done.If not,place the bar on and raise just enough for the STB to slide on.Torque it down(I think 40flbs)and youre done.Hope this helps till the experts chime in..This is how I got my TRD on.

When I installed my stb (not carson's), I didn't need to jack the car up.
Unloosen all 3 bolts on each side and you're good to go
On my 300, I needed to loosen the fuse box? that box right next to the left mount just to slip in the left one.
