i looked on the website and couldnt find any instructions. i was just curious how difficult and how to go about installing them in the garage versus having to take it to a shop to install? it looks like two bolt locations from the lower shock bolt and the rear bolt of the control arm are used to go along with the two u bolt clamps you provide... i was just curious as to how to support the shock if needed and if an alignment is needed afterwards since removing bolts from the a arm etc.

just remove the nut off the lower shock bolt and the nut off the lower sway bar link. You might need to move the lower shock bolt back a bit- if so jack it up unloading the suspension then move it back so it is flush with the mount. Slide the plate onto the sway bar link bolt and then loosely install the clamps. Push the lower shock bolt through the mounting hole in the plate. It might be a little tuff. Once through, start tightening the clamps then the nuts.

alignment will not be needed.
