O/W it’s simple bolt on bolt off. For the rears, just move the stock links to the proximal opening.
Do you know any torque numbers? You Tube thought 65lbs.

Hi Rich,
With the longer Hellwig links you may still need to rotate the sway a bit, but not as much.
Yes, when you connect the drop links, make sure the weight is on the wheels, not on the jacks. You need zero torque on the sway bar when it’s level, not moving. That’s another nice part of the Hellwigs, you can adjust the length of each of them individually to ensure there’s no pre-load (torque) on the sway bar when you connect the drop links.
I don’t know the torque, but 65 ft-lbs sounds good.
Where in CA are you? We’re up in the SF Bay Area.
