I did the preload on my Street Flex's on the car because I wanted more preload after testing it. Originally I set a 1/4 inch preload all around, but ended up with 3/8 inch preload.

To do the install I put the car on jack stands then use my floor jack to load the fronts to get the endlinks off then unloaded to remove the rest.

For the rear, I loosened the lower control arm joint bolt so that the entire arm can swivel easier. Then I preload the arm to unbolt the endlink, then unload to remove the rest.
