Put WD-40, Blaster,or some kind of penetrating oil on them before they are delivered .. Save a little grief loosening the bolts right off the bat ..

Just installed mine last night. Set them to the height you want before you install them. I had mine tightened all the way and then realized I needed to loosen them to get it lowered 2".
