Good point Dracula, the car should not be jacked up, it should be on level ground when installing the stb, also remove that round plate so the 3 top strut nuts have full engagement on the three bolts.

how level does it the ground have to be? finally gonna try to put this on after the strut bars been sitting in my closet for a year. My garage is slightly inclined will it be a big problem?

That will not be a problem, it can be a problem if one side is higher than the other or jacked up on one side.
You will be fine.

Good to see you back on the board :good:
