If I remember correctly when I installed my JBA's I had to disconnect the right motor mount and jack up the passenger's side of the engine a bit.

take your front tire off, give you little more room to work/see.

I put Ford Shorties on mine. I had to do as the other poster suggested, and disconnect the right motor mount and jack the motor up on that side. Pulling that wheel off isn't a bad idea either.

Good luck to you...
