Install them, drop the car, measure, raise the car and adjust from there.
Hope that helps.

Basically if you're running stock tire diameters I would run

GROUND TO CENTER OF FENDER AT 25.5".

Install first:

Remember to unbolt upper control arm in FRONT.

Basically you'll get it all installed.

Put on ground, roll forward and back so it settles.

Then take your measurements.

Subtract 25.5" from your measurement and you'll know how much you need to raise or lower the vehicle.

REMEMBER TO MAKE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS FROM LOWER BRACKET.

(for future readers) instead of unbolting upper contol arm you can just drop the front sway bar little faster if you have an impact gun "70 bucks at your local o'ryleys or sturdavants or pronto where ever you are " and the new coil overs will fall right in onc yo have them in (on th front) you can bolt them down on the top then jack up the a arms to the bottom of the shock theninsert your stock bolt to the bottom.....start over and repeat for the other side....
when i get to the backill be sure to let yall know how to those too lol
