I just received the package from brown santa. Front and rear IPD sway bars, sundry bushings and bolts, and new ball joints.

Question.

Is it best to put the car on jackstands - or drive it up onto stands? Basically does suspension need to be compressed or decompressed or does it matter?

Second:

Should I go ahead and replace swaybar link bushings as a matter of course? I dont have these yet...

Thanks!
