Alterkation question. .....

I have had an Alter-k-tion in my 70 cuda since 2008 and I want to say it is a great system and Bill is a great guy to deal with. I am actually sending mine back after all this time to have him straighten out the shock up right. I had an off-road adventure while driving spiritedly. It still functions fine though. There is service after the sale.

I suppose you could park your car under an A frame and keep your engine hoisted up while installing it or if you have motor plates that could work. I think the best way to do it is also the best way to install and uninstall any suspension including OEM. From the bottom. Lower you engine and suspension as an assembly. Unbolt your upper control arms, slide out your t-bars, unbolt the trans mount, and unhook you engines wires and hoses. Lower the whole assembly.
When I installed mine I did not do it like this because I didn't have a drivetrain. I installed the Alter-k-tion when my engine was at the builder. I am planning on doing it from the bottom from here on out though. A tool that will really help is the US Cartool hoist that bolts onto the front frame rails where the bumper brackets attach.
