The only time the suspension needs to be loaded to install the parts is when you tighten the lca's. Everyghing else can be installed loaded or on the suspension.

Whenever I pull my LCAs to grease the bushings or whatever, I load the rear suspension with screw jacks(aka dead man jack) as it makes it that much easier to get the LCAs back in. The axle won't shift as much when loaded and you can put the LCA back in and thread the bolt by hand without much effort.
Unloaded, the axle can shift to the rear and you might have to use a prybar or just pull on the axle to get the LCA bolt to line up.
This is how I fixed my F to R issue of being out 3/8 of an inch.
With the suspension loaded
Removed both LCA's and brackets, centered the axle with the adjustable BMR panhard bar.
install both BMR LCR brackets and LCA's and the F to R is within 1mm.
How did you center the rear end with the adj. PHB with a load on the vehicle? It is well known that when you center the axle there should be no load on the axle.

Ok, so I got home today, and started adjusting my adj LCA's. My adj PHB hasnt shown up yet, so I will be messing with everything after I get that installed and finishing it all right. By just installing and starting to adjust the LCA's my steering wheel that was off is now close to non-existant. still off a tad but NOWHERE like it was before with the solid LCA's. Like the BMR tech said adjustalbe LCA's WILL cure our front to rear out of whack issue that we are having.
Something isn't seated correctly. You've caused your rear axle to be out of square somehow. Double check your installation by loosening up all the bolts, making sure everything is square and then reseating them.
Anyone having this issue, with ANY brand brackets - give me a call and I will help you resolve the issue without spending additional money on adjustable LCA / or buying new brackets.
Fortunately, we jump on issues like this and take them very serious.....so I have just about more experience to share, than anyone, when it pertains to achieving a squared axle with aftermarket relocation brackets.
