the factory service manual has a process outlined in it, you might find the correct year you can download from here.... http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=109biggest thing would be make sure the tension off the LCA's is released prior to trying to do anything - if you dont know how to do that just ask someone will tell you.

bars have left and right...must be clocked correctly in engage rear sockets...and front pivot must be aligned to allow the t bar to engage the front socket while remained correctly clocked to enter rear sockets...
not that difficult..

bar type shouldn't affect install method, they still have to go in....
when I installed mine I slathered them with anti seize as well

Also, if you removed or rebuilt the lower control arms don't tighten the mounting bolts until the car is sitting at ride height.
With weight on them?

Yes, snug the mounting nut but don't torque it to spec until you have the car at ride height. I can copy the correct pages from the manual and email them to you. PM me here if you want me to do that.
