Default BMR LCA relocation bracket install questions

Hi I just got the brackets in the mail and reading the instructions. It came with 5 washers, where exactly should I use them? Pictures I've seen of the brackets installed don't show any washers anywhere, so I'm assuming I'll use them on all the bolts.

Also there are 5 bolts, 4 the same size and 1 which is about a 1/3rd the size. I don't see any mention of where this smaller bolt is supposed to go.

Also does anyone have any pics of these being installed?

Thanks for any help

Hm. I may be wrong but it looks like I should have 6 newbolts total. My kit only came with 5. Looks like I need 2 bolts with spacers for the original mount location, 2 bolts for the control arm, 1 new panhard rod bolt, and 1 bolt for the passenger side top connection. Am I missing something?

Can I do the install on ramps or do I need to let the suspension hang?

You can remove the wheel to make it easier to access. The suspension needs to be loaded to re-attach the LCA's so I jacked up the car by the axle.

I just reused the stock bolt in the panhard rod and put the new bolts in everywhere else. Not that I can talk since I've got some clunking, but nothing has fallen off.
