I am wondering what all of you who don't have a lift do.

engine hoist, right off the ground.
Bolt on the bars to the car. Pick up one end and put the two wheeled stand on it, put the pin in to hold the car level. Move the hoise back and pick up the back so the car is now level and the first two wheel piece you put on rolls up to plumb. Its simple and not scary at all. After its up in the air, install tie piece to tie the two end pieces together. Rich |

Hmmm, mine both have three wheels, and so the car has to be all the way up, and close to level, before I can fit the bumper attachments into the stand. They can't tilt forward, as I suppose they could if the third leg bolted on. |
