    how would you do that as there is no access to the nuts with a socket after they are installed? Hell, you have to grind off some of the shaft for clearance on the driver's side (both if you modify how you mount the pass aluminum panel)

    Crows foot on torque wrench should work. At least that's my plan once I get my car on the ground.

    Yep. Or wait to rivet the backing panel until you've done it.

    in my mind it, seems that there would be more to the ride height than that. i am probably over thinking it but I dont see how this would be adjusted later without removing. I guess i will have to wait till i am at that step.
