Do I need to take the load off of the torsion bars to get the LCA off? It’s basically the last piece attached to either side of my truck but I can’t get them off. I have a torsion bar Unloading tool and my new UCA and LCA’s are ready to go in, but I have no clue how or where this clamp goes.

Yes, you must back off on the torsion bar. Here are the instructions and how to place that tool on:
