you can get the LCA relocation bracket that is knotched for the sway bar when used with the sway bar relocation kit.

I installed the BMR LCA brackets with the sway bar relocation kit from BBR on my car with no problems. I have the 15x10 racestars as well and they fit just fine. The sway bar is mounted just under the rear shock so the LCA bracket won't interfere with the install.

The thing prohibiting someone from putting on 15x10s is the sway bar mounting location on the chassis. The mounting point sticks out about 1-2 inches too far and needs to be cut off, thats why the sway bar needs to be relocated higher up. So even with the sway bar off the rim wouldn't fit correctly.
Note how the bracket is Knotched out for this.

cool thanks that is what i was thinking from the BMR set they also hook the rear bolt in the inside of the bracket not like the CHE they wrap around the bracket giving me no clearance. I will have to look into the BMR set if i need them later.

on jackstands or what?

Well, i lift the car and put two jack stand under the rear end to lose the bolts then i move the stand to the chassis to take the LCA out.

Don't forget to take the E-brake cable off first.

then install the LCA, finger tight the bolts and after you move the stand under the rear end to load the suspension again then you torque the LCA.

Correction, you dont need the stand under the rear end to take the LCA out, i just did that because i had the BBR aftermarket on already and i figure i did not want it to get mess up.

Just knotch yours out if you can. A bench grinder or a shop with a plasma cutter would do the trick.

i will have to bolt them on and check were i need to cut then weld them to the rear end to make them secure on it. but i dont feel i need them with the CJ springs so far.

I also did not feel any wheel hoop in the track last night so i will see what happen once i get the front race star and the rear Xtreme anti roll bar.

may be that is all i need.
