Yeah they get welded to the actual frame, so it should be good. Like mjr said, keep a spray bottle every 30 sec or so.

In hindsight, I wish I had gone with full lengths, I really didnt feel any diff

iirc, the car needs to be on its wheels (the suspension needs to have load on it.... or jack stands under the suspension

to weld them in and have them work the way they are supposed to right?

yes, have the car on a roll on lift or up on jack stand via its own suspension. they should be welded in how the car normally sits.....unless you have body sag....

Be sure to get the XL Full length connectors from MM. They advertise them to be stiffer than their original full lengths. I can't wait to get a set for mine.
