Default I screwed up

Finally got home and started installing the new LCAs and relocation brackets after I did the interior pieces I got. I was going to bolt the LCAson and have them welded later. I started on the left side and had a little trouble but nothing major. Went to the right side and it went better, I thought. There's a bolt at the top of the relocation bracket on that side and guess what I left off. Gave it a little gas and the car went nuts. Seems that bolt keeps the bracket from moving. So now, the relocation brackets are out and I can drive the car.

Thought I'd post this to prevent anyone else from having this brain fart.

I'm not even going to start installing the nitrous today the way things have been going.

Dont leave hardware off and drive before welding.
What a warning.
Here is one for the books:
Be sure and install all your lugnuts and tighten them
before driving. I put my rims and tires on and forgot
the lugnuts.[:@]I wont do that again. 4 bent fenders
and 4 trashed brake rotors before I noticed what
was going on.

The spacer or a bolt.....if you didnt put the spacer in there you might have bent the freaking brackets or mounts......this would be very bad.....

What did you think that short bolt that came with the kit was for?
